What is Team-Tactics?

Team-Tactics is a prototype platform for exploring intuitive and efficient ways to control/direct virtual entities. Its main focus lies on concurrent user interaction with either shared or networked devices.

The Game

A football (soccer) game is used as the primary a testbed. Reasons for this choice are

the rules are not too complicated to understand and implement
the big team size and typical player proximities are ideal for cooperative/competitive interaction
easy to realize in both 2D/3D as well as in various levels of abstraction
the game will be fun to play, at least for the project initiator =)

The gameplay is round based to facilitate the strategic/tactical emphasis, although some real-time aspects might be added at a later time. In each turn one or more players are selected to define/adjust their next actions. Keeping it simple: run, pass and shoot should be enough if tackling is performed automatically. This is similar to the Drag Soccer game but the actions are not chosen and performed in real-time.
