How Sea Battle Works

• Connect your wallet and click Create Game to start a new match. Use the slider to set a wager between 0.25 – 10 XNT (default 1 XNT). The wager is sent to the game contract.
• A second player joins from the lobby and matches the wager. The total pot is double the wager.
• Setup phase: each player places their fleet on a private 10×10 grid. Fleet composition: 3 ships of length 2, 2 of length 3, 2 of length 4, 1 of length 5 (8 ships total, 25 cells). Use Auto-Place for a random valid layout, or click a ship in the palette and click a cell to place it (press R to rotate). When both players are ready, the battle begins.
• Battle phase: players take turns firing at cells on the opponent's grid. A hit lets you fire again; a miss passes the turn. When all of an opponent's ship cells are hit, you win.
• Each opponent shot at your fleet shows up as a peg standing in your board — red for a hit, white for a miss. Your shots on the target grid show as pegs the same way. The opponent's ship positions stay hidden until each ship is fully sunk.
• The winner receives the full pot minus a small 2% fee.
• If a game is abandoned or interrupted, funds can be reclaimed after 5 minutes via the Reclaim Funds button. A reduced 0.5% fee applies to timeout reclaims.
• If a player quits or disconnects during a game, a 50% penalty is deducted from their refund and burned.

All transactions happen on the X1 blockchain. Make sure your wallet has enough XNT for the wager and transaction fees.
