+# 📄🛳️ Paper Battleship
+
+**Paper Battleship** is a Java-based networked version of the classic Battleship game, built using socket programming. It simulates the nostalgic feel of the paper-based game, now with two players connecting over a network and taking turns to attack each other's grid.
+
+## 🎯 Features
+
+* Two-player turn-based gameplay over a network
+* Server-client architecture using Java Sockets
+* Console-based grid interaction
+* Hit/miss feedback and ship sinking notification
+* Simple and minimalistic design for learning and fun
+
+## 🕹️ How to Play
+
+1. **Start the Server**
+   Run the `BattleShipServer` on one machine (or the host machine).
+
+2. **Connect Two Clients**
+   Run `BattleShipClient` on two separate terminals or machines. Each player enters the server's IP and port to connect.
+
+3. **Gameplay**
+
+    * Each player places their ships (can be manual or random depending on your implementation).
+    * Players take turns entering grid coordinates like `A3`, `B7`, etc.
+    * The game continues until one player sinks all of the opponent’s ships.
