Meredith Maltese's Soccer Animation

Assignment 4

How to control the animation:

• First, click the "setup" button. This will line up all of the yellow and red players to their respective sides of the field.
• Next, you should pick a setting for the slider labeled "wait." This controls the time inbetween each movement on the field. I recommend that you use 1. If you use 0, you will not get to see all of the plays, only the end results, and 2 is a little slow.
• Click the "line up" button next so that the players who are in the game line up in their positions on the field.
• You should then click the "play 1" button. This shows the first play of the game, where yellow begins with the ball. But red steals the ball and manages to score against the yellow team. One point is added to red's score in the top left hand corner.
• After play 1 is over, click the "line up 2" button. This gets the players ready for the second play. Yellow starts with the ball since the red team just scored.
• You should then click the "play 2" button. This starts the second play of the game. Yellow passes and dribbles around the field and scores on the red team. A point is then added to yellow's score in the top left hand corner.
• You can then click the "line up 3" box, which gets the players set up for the next play. Red now has possession of the ball since yellow just scored.
• Before you click the next button, you should decide which team you would like to win. The slider labeled "yellow or red?" controls this. If you would like the yellow team to win, make sure the slider is at 0, if you would like the red team to win, make sure the slider is at 1.
• Now when you click the "play 3" button, the next play will start and the team you have chosen will score. The winning team will then celebrate by running around the field crazily.

The following are some pictures of the game in action:
