Motivation and overview

The goal is to create a project designed to onboard developers to Baseline. The project should be lightweight and easy to run.

The idea is to create a simplified version of the classic game Battleship. At the start of the game players place a single ship on their hidden grid. Then the players take turns making guesses on the location of their opponents ship. In this example the players would represent an organization and the outcome of a guess (hit/miss) will be verified using zero knowledge proofs.

TSC will review grant proposal & 'thumb's up' to upvote.

Will this be considered as a different form of BRI? Or is this more of a refinement of the baseline stack in lieu of this use case?

It would be helpful to elaborate a little on the implications of this use case.
