       Read the wikipedia page to understand how to play the battleship game.

       Looked at some example code for using 2-D arrays, but none of the code
       seemed useful. The classes tutorial reminded me how to declare a derived
       class.

       Talked with my classmate Grace about how to implement the top scores
       feature. She walked me through the lab 10 code until I understood it, and
       pointed me at last week's lecture notes for the rest.

       My bubble-sort code still doesn't work, so I borrowed about 30 lines of
       bubble-sort code from this page.  Several of the examples didn't make
       sense to me, but one of the examples seemed okay so I used that.  I had
       to adapt it to use in my project (the example was sorting alphabetically
       by name, and I needed to sort by numeric score), but this seemed quicker
       than trying to fix my own broken code and I am running out of time.

       Asked my classmate Bill what the "array index out of bounds" error I
       keep getting means. He didn't know, but Alan did (he took this class
       last year).  He said it probably has to do with accessing off the end
       of an array or maybe using a pointer that is NULL. He told me to use
       jdb to find the error in my code, and I did.
