Rules

Two 16x16 grids and a fleet of eight ships, 28 cells in total.
Ships may not touch, corners included.
Not every ship is a line: two are L shaped and one is a T.
Turns alternate strictly. A hit does not earn another shot.
Sinking a ship reveals the water around it.
Sink all 28 cells to win.

Playing

Play the bot, or create a room and give a friend the four-letter code.
Arrow keys move, r rotates, enter places or fires, and R auto-places the rest of your fleet.
Drop out mid-game and you have 60 seconds to reconnect before you forfeit.
Wins against people count on the leaderboard. Wins against the bot do not.
