Overview

Game inspiration: Super Soccer SNES

Features

• Debug display with simple shapes, not sprites yet
• Play against a human player or a bot !
• Basic actions:
  • move
  • jump
  • smash
  • serve
  • throw ball
  • dive
  • pause game
  • move camera (debug purpose)
• Rules (1V1):
  • ball does not touch ground in player area

  • player can touch a maximum of 3 times the ball consecutively

Notes:

1. Ball trajectory is controllable in these actions :
   • throw
   • smash (depth only)
   • serve
2. To change team composition, you must change code in src/Engine/game_engine.py in create method:

teams composition	code to change
human (keyboard) vs human (joystick)	self.new_game([PlayerId.PLAYER_ID_1, PlayerId.PLAYER_ID_2])
human vs bot	self.new_game([PlayerId.PLAYER_ID_1, AIId.AI_ID_1])
bot vs bot	self.new_game([AIId.AI_ID_1, AIId.AI_ID_2]) or self.new_game()

Demo - moves

Throw ball

Smash

Dive

Serve

Collisions with net

Controls

Keyboard and Gamepad are supported. For gamepad, button binds could be different depending on your device button layout. You still must hardcode for joystick use.

Action	Key (keyboard)	Button (gamepad)
Move or Aim during ball throwing	ZQSD	POV, D-PAD
Jump	I	2
Throw ball or Smash	J	1
Dive to catch up ball (after smash...)	L	3
Move camera	Arrow Keys	Right joystick
Re-throw ball	Space bar	4
Quit game	Esc.	9
Pause game	P	10

You can manually change button binds in src/Settings/input_presets.py (pygame code key).
