I have to admit that, reply after reply to this post, I came to realize that when *I* say BASIC, I mean "the BASIC I grew up with and learned to use" back in the day, which was QBasic 1.1, which came pre-installed with the OS. *That* version of BASIC did do functions / procedures, and was quite versatile!! Moreover, it's very much true that when you want to move some greater amounts of data around, things get hairy pretty soon...

PS: Python for a Battleship game!! That's a challenge for my students (and me, of course)!
