Description

This application is a soccer penalty kick simulation.� A full soccer field, along with stands and a crowd are modeled.� Texture maps are used for the grass, crowd, sky and nike symbol on the soccer ball.� Two players are modeled, a penalty kick shooter and a goalie.� Right clicking provides the options of using trackball rotation or zoom in order to change your view of the penalty shot.� Currently the goalie randomly chooses which direction he will dive and if he picks correctly he always stops the ball.� As the shooter you may choose between shooting to six different places within the goal: top left, bottom left, bottom middle, top middle, top left and top right.� The direction is chosen by holding down the corresponding arrow keys (i.e. up arrow and left arrow would lead to a top left shot) while pressing the shoot ('s') button.� If the direction you� shoot is different from the direction chosen by the goalie then you will always be successful in your shot.� I used hierarchical modeling to model both the shooter and the goalie.� Both possess just a head, two arms, two legs and a torso.� The 'i' button can be pushed to reinitialize all aspects of the system to their original state.
