Python Battleship game!

Hey guys!

This is my take on a battleship game run on python. You are playing against the computer. There are 4 different sizes of ships 2, 3, 4 and 5. The winner is the one that doesn’t have any ships left. There are a few details to de added:

For now the way the code is written the computer can position ships in the same block.
Player or user inputs are “open” meaning that if they type something that is not correct it will through an error.
And other details here and there.

I thought this was a pretty good stage to share it, definitely going to be working on a v2.

I’ll appreciate any comments, thanks!
