VB code request for a naval battle game !

[Sary]

1. Design a VB.NET windows application for a Naval Battles game.
Naval Battles is a turn-based; it is playable by 2 or more players, each commanding a fleet with the objective of sinking a certain amount of their opponents' ships.
Our project is to develop an nxn board, and the program will arrange its ships randomly.
The user should start firing weapons in order to destroy all ships.
The player has limited number of weapons.

Hint:
· Use 2D arrays to store the computer arrangement.
· Use picturebox objects in order to design the board, and split each weapon picture into parts in order to be loaded if the use hit a part of the ship.

Sample using circles instead of ships.




- Can anybody provide some help ?!

I made this when a while ago, it's a text based version of the game battleship.
cons: It doesn't contain any images and it's written in main.
