| 1592 | -1 | 2001-01-31 20:53:33 | <em>Category:</em> Simulation<br> <em>Description:</em> TOS is a multi-player real time soccer simulation game. In this game, human controlled soccer players compete with or cooperate with AI controlled soccer players. The game is implemented in Java using client-server architecture. <p> A soccer server sets up a virtual soccer field, simulates all players and a ball, and enforces the laws of the game. <p> Two kinds of clients can be served by the soccer server. They are players and viewers. Each kind of client can either be a GUI accepting human interaction or an AI program, which can not be distinguished by the soccer server. The server communicates with clients by exchanging LISP-like ASCII strings over UDP sockets. This means that developers can develop clients and even a soccer server by using any type of programming language which has UDP and ASCII string utilities. <p> The game is written for different interest groups. First of all, soccer fans can play it on-line with their friends, to improve their team strategy and to better understand the tao of their favourite sport game. Secondly, researchers in AI and Robotics can use it as a test-bed for human-machine mixed multi-agent systems research. Thirdly, students who are interested in computer science/engineering can write AI programs for soccer players to improve their programming skills. | The Tao of Soccer 0.2 | new | |
