In the root folder of the application there is a Battleship.sln which can be used to build all projects by executing

dotnet build 

You neet to have the dotnet core runtime installed on your local machine https://www.microsoft.com/net/download

You can now run the game with

dotnet run --project .\Battleship.Ascii\Battleship.Ascii.csproj

You can easily run the game within a docker container.

Change into the Battleship folder

docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/battleship mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 bash

This starts a new container and maps your current folder on your host machine as the folder battleship in your container and opens a bash console. In bash then change to the folder battleship/Battleship.Ascii and run

dotnet run 

You can run tests on the console by using

dotnet test 

If you want to run tests within VSCode, you can install the [].NET Core Test Explorer Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=formulahendry.dotnet-test-explorer). In this case make sure, you set the Propery "Test Project Path" in the extension setting to this value:

**/*[Test|ATDD]*/*.csproj
