User Story: I want the computer to have even more intelligence by try to fire in the opposite direction once line firing has failed in the first.
Conversation: When a computer fires, hits, and fires again and hits again, it will continue firing in that "direction" until it encounters a previous hit, a previous miss, or the edge of the board. Now, the computer will keep firing past previous hits in a line, and will backtrack when encountered a previous miss or the edge of the board and start firing in a line in the opposite direction until the ship is sunk.
Confirmation: The computer will fire in a line in both directions until either the ship is sunk or it finds misses on both sides (rare edge case).
