Here's a sample of the Battleship game I'm making with Blender.

It's going to be 2 player via LAN.  I've already worked out the Python - Networking program and it's working terrific.  That part's about 90% done. Just need to add few more options.

Unless I'm wrong, python only sends strings over the network, so all of my numbers and python lists had to be converted to strings, sent over the LAN and converted back.  (The lists were kind of a pain.)
 
The ship in the center - lower portion rotates and looks like a 'hologram'.  This area will be for status messages, damage reports, etc.  The ocean view through the binoculars slowly bobs up and down.  Used for viewing your enemy hits at a distance.

I thought about using health bars for each of your own ships under 'Fleet Status'.

I already have a nice collection of sound effects I'm looking forward to adding.

It seems to be going really well and I expect to actually finish it.  Once I do, I'll give it away for free on my site.
