Cursed Battle is an implementation of the famous Battleship game based on the C curses library. It's easy to play with hardly any learning curve. Moreover, it is lightweight and runs on the terminal. However, it presents a GUI making it a pleasure to play the game.

The game needs C-curses library and runs on XTerm based terminals, something you are likely to have on your computer if you are on Linux/Unix or Mac based system, or if you have Cygwin installed on your Windows PC.

The game currently allows two levels. In the BASIC level, you play against a naive machine which blindly attacks your board. You are very unlikely to lose against this opponent, unless you try hard. On the other hand, in the ADVANCED level, the machine emulates, to some reasonable degree, the behaviour of an alert player. There's a fair chance that in spite of playing cleverly, you may lose against this opponent.
