TurnBasedSoccer, a game for the 'use ODE' assignment by Ilya Gershgorin.
I wanted to create a turn based soccer type game that allowed the user to select what each piece would do on each turn and then would simulate that turn.
I created a box playing field in ODE by making a plane for each
wall of the field. I then put the ball in the middle and the players
for both players on each side of the ball. There is a goal on both
sides. Player 1 controls the red spheres.
Player 2 controls the
blue spheres.
1-3 to select red spheres (1 darkest)
4-6 to
select blue spheres (4 darkest)
The yellow sphere is the
currently selected sphere.
Drag in the direction you want them to
go and release.
Press return to simulate the turn. You cannot do
anything until the turn is finished simulating. Get the ball into
the opposing goal to win!
I intended this game to be a sort of turn based soccer, but the more I thought about it, the more it was like a mix of soccer and pool.
The resulting game is essentially what I envisioned when I started making it. I think I could make the control scheme a bit more intuitive and the instructions into the game itself as opposed to the console if I were to develop the game further.
