GAME DESIGN
===========

	This program combines my desire to learn C and Windows programming
with my love for the game of Battleship. Version 1.0 of Search & Destroy
was a one grid version where the player had to sink five randomly placed
ships in a certain amount of shots (determined by playing level). While
version 1.0 was addicting, it did not use bitmaps to represent the ships
and did not contain any logic for the computer to fire back. I added those
features in ver 2.0 and the game began to seem more like traditional 
Battleship.
	Version 2.1 added a wealth of new features including different
levels of computer firing logic, smooth animated ship deployment, automatic
and repeat ship deployment (in addition to manual) and true Windows Help.
	This version (2.2) adds more levels of play, including levels that
take into account the size of the remaining ships on the board. In addition,
I have added sunken ship bitmaps and fixed the repeating messagebox bug.
All the features are explained in detail in the on-line help.
	 If you find any bugs, shows up, I would appreciate it if you leave
me e-mail explaining what happened. I am constantly trying to improve the 
game, both in terms of adding new features and eliminating bugs, so all
feedback is welcomed.
