football's Issues

Kickoff bug

The ball is not returned to the center circle for kickoff if the keeper grabs it from the post right after it a goal is scored. This is because ball control is enabled even after the goal is scored, so the keeper attracts the ball and overwrites it position even after it has been moved to the center circle.

No reaction to loose balls

When a pass to a teammate goes wrong (e.g. kicktimer has not been reset so they can't control the received pass), the team remains in an attacking state, but no one chases after the ball. The same happens when a shot misses the target.

NPCs are too fast for human players

They collect the ball too quickly.

Passing bug

When a teammate intercepts the ball, the player that was passed to remains in the waiting state.

Marking

Players should mark the ball more intelligently i.e. If I'm in front of the opponent with the ball, then I mark

User Interface

Create a user interface so that people can input what kind of game they want and start the game.

Keeper State

Ensure that the keeper doesn't just run out of the post once an attack is on.

Tackling

Line 42 in caf5d91

private listenForBallCollisions(): void {

Related to #81
if the ball possession service registered multiple players as simultaneously having the ball, rather than just one, things might be fairer. We might then be able to probabilistically hand over ball control from one player to another.

What's more, this might help resolve issues with loose balls(?). Unsure how though

Unfair advantage

When a player on the red team has no better option, they can hold on to the ball indefinitely. We need a way to tackle and collect the ball. Maybe tackling momentarily disables the opponent's ability to kickBall

InterceptionCalculator wonky

The interception calculator needs work. passes often go wrong.

It could also be used for a rewrite of the collision detection algorithms.

UI

• Make the login and index pages less plain
  • Add headings for both
• Show some loading text between the moment a user selects a position and the start of the game
• Show instructions on the index page:
  Control a single player (the one with a blue dot above its head) with the following keys:
  A - shoot ball
  S- pass
  D - request for pass
  direction keys - Move / dribble ball in the corresponding direction

Re-enable shooting for human players

Shooting currently throws an error. This should be fixed.

Game seems to run at the speed of user input

• On keypress, the game runs super fast, but when you take your fingers of the key it runs a lot slower.
