A classic text-based Battleship game implementation in Python.

This is a single-player Battleship game where you try to find and sink randomly placed ships on a 5x5 grid. The game features:

• Board Size: 5x5 grid
• Number of Ships: 3 ships to find
• Maximum Guesses: 15 attempts to sink all ships
• Visual Feedback:
  • X marks hits
  • O marks misses
  • Ships are hidden until revealed

• Random ship placement for replayability
• Input validation for coordinates
• Clear visual board representation
• Game statistics tracking (guesses remaining, ships hit)
• Win/loss conditions
• Final board reveal showing all ship locations

1. Run the script:

   python battleship_text_mode.py

2. The game will display a 5x5 grid with coordinates (0-4 for both rows and columns)

3. Enter your guess as two numbers separated by a space:

   Enter coordinates (row col): 2 3
   

4. The game will tell you if you:

   • HIT 💥: Successfully found a ship
   • MISS 💧: No ship at that location
   • Already guessed that location ⚠️

5. Continue guessing until you:

   • WIN 🎉: Find all 3 ships within 15 guesses
   • LOSE 💀: Run out of guesses before finding all ships

=== BATTLESHIP TEXT MODE ===
Find and sink all enemy ships!

Board size: 5x5
Ships to find: 3
Maximum guesses: 15

Guesses remaining: 15
Ships hit: 0/3

Enter coordinates (row col): 2 3
💥 HIT! You sunk a battleship!

The game consists of several key functions:

• create_board(size): Creates an empty game board
• place_ships(board, num_ships): Randomly places ships on the board
• print_board(board, hide_ships): Displays the board with optional ship hiding
• get_guess(): Gets and validates player input
• play_game(): Main game loop

• Python 3.6+
• No external dependencies required

• Lines of Code: 100 lines (fits project requirements)
• Standard Library Only: Uses only random module
• Input Validation: Handles invalid inputs gracefully
• Game State Management: Tracks guesses, hits, and board state
