Based on the requirements in the document, the essential classes needed for the project are:$1.$ Ship ClassPurpose: Represents an individual ship.Key Responsibilities:Tracks ship properties like size, orientation, and coordinates.Manages hits and determines if the ship has sunk$\mathrm{.}2.$ Grid ClassPurpose: Represents the $10$x$10$ grid for both the player and AI$.$Key Responsibilities:Manages ship placement and validates it$.$Tracks hits, misses, and overall grid state.Updates the game board after each turn$\mathrm{.}3.$ Player ClassPurpose: Represents the human player.Key Responsibilities:Manages the players grid and ships.Tracks attack history and allows the player to make attacks$\mathrm{.}4.$ AI ClassPurpose: Represents the computer$-$controlled opponent.Key Responsibilities:Randomly places ships on the grid.Strategically makes moves based on hits or misses$\mathrm{.}5.$ Game ClassPurpose: Manages the overall game flow.Key Responsibilities:Handles turn alternation between the player and AI$.$Checks for win$/$loss conditions.Manages the game state $($setup$,$ gameplay, endgame$)\mathrm{.}6.$ GUI Class $($PyQt Window$)$Purpose: Implements the graphical interface.Key Responsibilities:Displays player and AI grids.Handles player input for ship placement and attacks.Updates the UI to reflect hits, misses, and game status.Provides buttons for starting a new game, randomizing ships, and restarting$\mathrm{.}7.$ Database ClassPurpose: Manages SQLite database operations for storing game data.Key Responsibilities:Tracks player stats $($wins$,$ losses, turns$).$Optionally saves and loads in$-$progress games.Optional Classes$1.$MenuWindow:Displays the main menu with options like Start Game, How to Play, and Exit$\mathrm{.}2.$StatsWindow:Shows stored player statistics.How These Classes Fit Together$1.$Core Logic:Ship, Grid, Player, and AI implement the rules and structure of the game.The Game class coordinates interactions between the player, AI$,$ and grids$\mathrm{.}2.$User Interface:The GUI class integrates the game logic with PyQt$,$ ensuring visual updates reflect gameplay$\mathrm{.}3.$Data Management:The Database class saves and retrieves player stats and progress.
