Batttleship Bot

Going to start working on a fun challenge that's part of our Tech Summit Challenge.

The challenge is to build a Battleship playing "bot" along with a UI for displaying game status and results.

I'm planning on creating the bot portion in Python and the UI using AngularJS. Should be interesting and that's the point of the challenge to be fun and use technologies I don't use in my day-to-day work.

I've found a few potentially useful resources.

First is a Battleship game API here:

As well as this one:

I hope to use it to test my game bot against. I can't really use it for the UI as it does not maintain a board status but in theory I must keep the board status inside the bot.
