Method: Alpha::Alpha#target_result

Defined in:

lib/alpha/alpha.rb

#target_result(coordinates, was_hit, ship_sunk) ⇒ Object

target_result will be called by the system after a call to next_target. The paramters supplied inform the player of the results of the target.

coordinates : string. The coordinates targeted.  It will be the same value returned by the previous call to next_target
was_hit     : boolean.  true if the target was occupied by a ship.  false otherwise.
ship_sunk   : symbol.  nil if the target did not result in the sinking of a ship.  If the target did result in
  in the sinking of a ship, the ship type is supplied (:carrier, :battleship, :destroyer, :submarine, :patrolship).
