About

Tux Football is a great 2D soccer (sometimes called football) game for Windows and Linux. It's bringing old style gameplay from DOS times back to the desktop with up to date graphics! It's gameplay is similar to old classics such as Amco's Kick Off and Sensible Software's Sensible Soccer.

The gameplay is designed to be quick, responsive and fun. You are always in control of the player closest to the ball. The ball is controled via two differentn kick buttons - one for pass, and one for shoot. Aftertouch can be applied to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you want the ball to bend towards. Pushing in the opposite direction to what you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air, pushing in the same direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground.



Controls

Direction Keys : Move player around
Left Shift : Shoot (heavy kick in the air)
Left Ctrl : Pass (softer kick along the ground, directed to feet of the closest player on your team in the direction you passed in)


What is done:

    Two Teams
    Pass, Kick, Tackles, Headers
    Aftertouch
    Bounds detection (i.e. we know when throw ins, goals, etc. happens)
    Realistic physics on the ball, including bouncing off goal posts.
    Title Screen, With menu.
    Sound Support, including sfx and music
    Computer controlled players
    Redefining keys, selecting number of players

Still to be done:

    More Teams
    More graphics and moves, such as throwin graphics, rolling around on the floor in agony, etc.
    Talking about agony, injuries and player-player collision detection need to be added
    Along with yellow cards and red cards
    And substituions
    Joystick support
    Music and SFX need to be improved.
    Networked play
    Leagues, player stats, transfer market
