trying to code battleship

[azure swift]

@royal lintel 🙂

In your

if __name__ == "__main__":
     main()
     play_game()

play_game() will run regardless of whatever main() does

By convention you should have most logic inside main() in the sense, probably running play_game() from of main() will be the best approach

[azure swift]

so all the headers like play_game , Get_target , display_grid i should move under main ?

[royal lintel]

No, main() in your case does the following things

1. Gives instructions
2. Starts a new game
3. Displays hall of fame
4. Quits

For statement 2 you are just breaking out of the function and letting the following function run which isn't conventional correct and leads to errors.

You should instead have play_game() inside of elif num == 2 and have main() as your sole function inside if __name__ statement
