Then choose whether you want to play or watch a game.

If you choose to play, you'll have to wait for another player to show
up (admire the velero).  When they do, you place your ships in the
lower (local) board by clicking LMB when the ship is at the right
location; you can also change the orientation of the ship by pressing
MMB.  If you are not happy with the current layout, press RMB and
select “relocate ships” to start all over again.  Once you are done—a
banner at the bottom will inform you—, press RMB and choose “done”.

At this moment the battle will begin.  Each of you has a turn (read
[battleship.pdf](battleship.pdf)), and if you are the one shooting you
have to aim at a tile at the upper (target) board—which will show a
reticle—and press LMB to fire a shot.  If you hit an enemy ship, the
tile will show an X, otherwise a O. If you are the one waiting, well,
just do that.

There's no turn timeout so the battles can get as long as any of the
players will.  If you quit or your connection is lost, your opponent
wins.

If you choose to watch, you'll receive a list of ongoing matches.  You
can select any one of them by double-clicking them.  Once inside,
you'll see the battle in real time.
