Hi guys,

I’ve just created a simple Battleship version where the user can play against the computer. To generate the board for Computer, I used random.sample and also used similar thing to initiate attack. Please check it out and I’d love to receive your feedback.

        '1E':' ', '2E':' ', '3E':' ', '4E':' ', '5E':' ',
        }
    ship_locs = random.sample(board.keys(), 6)
    for loc in ship_locs:
        board[loc] = 'O'
    return board
