Show HN: Play Battleships on PostgreSQL

Battleship AI is pretty interesting actually. Board and ship geometry can be exploited to create an edge over random strategies. With a slight chance for "the perfect game" completed in 17 hits, no misses. A pure SQL implementation would be formidable to say the least ;)

Love the method used for I/O, super clever.

My long running pet project is a multi-player space battle game played entirely via SQL inside postgres https://schemaverse.com/

Ha! I attempted this a while back but never came up with a good solution for handling user inputs so it was just the computer playing itself...

This is next level!

Here’s chess in Redshift http://www.michaelburge.us/2017/09/10/injecting-shellcode-to...

Can someone explain how this works?

I followed the instructions and it asked to me to open two psql processes and call an instruction from the other which I did.

> postgres=# INFO: Let's connect keyboard. Open another psql process and enter "K1GSFJF0;"

Also space invaders in sqlalchemy (actually a decent primer) https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/blob/master/example...

You sunk my battleship
