Battle Ships: Access Edition – Tactical Torpedoes in Table Form

Think Microsoft Access is just for forms and records? Well yes... and also for sinking your coworkers' fleets with precision.

Welcome to Battle Ships: Access Edition, my experimental (and still evolving) turn-based naval strategy game—built entirely in Access. Yes, that Access.

Gameplay

• Place your ships exactly where you want—no random layouts unless you're playing against the PC
• Take turns launching attacks and tracking hits in a slick form-based interface
• Watch the database light up with glorious destruction

Under the Hood

• Ship placement, game state, and turn logic all handled through tables, queries, and VBA
• Multiplayer-ready (if you trust your opponent not to peek)
• No macros, just pure Access sorcery

Perfect for a cheeky break between meetings or a full-blown office tournament. May the best database commander win.

Side effects include competitive banter and newfound respect for Access as a game engine.
