Was getting bored...

So I was getting like really, terribly bored and thus I decided to make this game that any kid could have possibly build (may be better). Note - This game, in no dimension points out to my coding or development capabilities.

Also I needed to take of  a 6 year old cousin of mine :'( :'( So I developed this to keep him busy and divert my attention from getting bored. I don't know, the BattleShip idea just came into my mind (I thought it to be the perfect game to keep the kid busy) ... He actually hated it... :3 And started irritating me more and more :'( :'(





The objective was to guess in which row and col was the ship hidden on the board.

Below is the code for the game (Reminder: It is CRAP!! And was coded in around 15 mins!)

from random import randint

#Our BattleShip Game Board

board = []

#Generating a 8 x 8 Game Board

for x in range(8):

    board.append(["O"] * 8)

#Joining list items with SPACE as separator

def print_board(board):

    for row in board:

        print "--".join(row)

#Game Instructions and Introduction        

print

print "Let's play Battleship!"

print "You will get 4 Turns to guess the location of my BattleShip!"

print "Your guesses will be marked by an X"

print

#Priting our Board!

print_board(board)

#Hiding our Ship

def random_row(board):

    return randint(0, len(board) - 1)

def random_col(board):

    return randint(0, len(board[0]) - 1)

#ship_row = random_row(board)

#ship_col = random_col(board)

#Ship hidden

for turn in range(4): #Giving the User 4 Turns

    print "Turn: ", turn + 1

    guess_row = int(raw_input("Guess Row:")) #Taking row guess input.

    guess_col = int(raw_input("Guess Col:")) #Taking col guess input.

    if guess_row == ship_row and guess_col == ship_col: #Winning Conditions Verified

        print "Congratulations! You sunk my battleship!"  # Congrats!

        if turn == 0:                       #Scoring!

            print "Score = 100"

        elif turn == 1:

            print "Score = 75"

        elif turn == 2:

            print "Score = 50"

        else:

            print "Score = 25"

        break #Ending game.

    else: #Conditions for wrong input, Game Over, and same guesses.

        if (guess_row < 0 or guess_row > 8) or (guess_col < 0     or guess_col > 8):

            print "Oops, that's not even in the ocean(Board Size Limit Exceeded!!! Board is 8 x 8!!!)" 

        elif(board[guess_row][guess_col] == "X"):

            print "You guessed that one already!!!"

        else:

            print "You missed my battleship!!!"

            board[guess_row][guess_col] = "X"

        if turn == 3:

            print

            print "Game Over"

            print

            print "Score = 0"

    print_board(board) #printing the board again.

    print

    print "<--------------------------------->"

    print

The game is coded in Python as you can see.
Below are some screenshots of me playing it in cmd! :P

As you can see it is very unattractive :D :D ...
However I puzzled my cousin by winning everytime (by printing the ship coordinated!! Yes I cheated :v Marked in red bracket.)
My cousin shouted on me too for me forcing him to play this crappy game in a Green-Black terminal window.

Any ideas on how to get rid of your cousins by making them busy with other things?
What would you do if you were in this situation?
