Unity-Football-Freekick-Game

This project is the creation of a "football freekick mechanism" similar to the "FIFA 23" video game's freekick mechanism, in Unity 3D game engine by a software developer named Mert Usta.

There are some demo gifs for my project :

What is freekick ?

• Football "Freekick" is kicking action to ball in the field of play. Players could "shoot" or "pass" the ball to the target for taking an advantage.

FIFA 23 video game's Freekick System

How to play?

• In this game project; there are states of freekick mechanism : "freekick position selection", "shoot" and "new freekick". When shooting completed, player could take new freekick again.

"Freekick Position Selection"

• Player could change "ball's position" with using "W","A","S","D" keys and moves the ball position.

• Player could set the finalized "ball's position" with pressing "Enter" key.

"Shoot"

• Player could set "ball hit point" with using "W","A","S","D" keys.

• Player could change "ball kick angle" with using "Right Arrow" and "Left Arrow" keys.

• Player could shoot with holding "Space" key. For adding more power to ball, holding "Space" button more longer. (Power bar is in Bottom-Right corner of canvas.)

"New Freekick"

• When shooting completed, player could take a new freekick with pressing "Enter" key.

Additional Settings

• Player could open/close the visibility of "Football Stadium" with pressing "F" key.

• Player could change the height of freekick camera with using "Mouse Scroll" input.

What were the subjects focused on?

• Creating a game mechanism clearly playable. (In my opinion, "FIFA 23" has wonderful "freekick mechanism" and I played so much time in this, I wanted design and code a game module like this.)
• Goal's "Net" is an important part of a football game. I used Unity's "Cloth" feature for it.
• Easy implementation of UI and making canvas simple.
• Adding sounds and handling the sound's "pitch" value with ball's "power" variable and "distance with camera". (For calculating and generating sounds everytime and using sounds more realistic)
• Creating a trajectory line renderer for bezier lines.
• Designed a curve movement of gameObject (for the ball's movement), with not a complicated programming solution.
• Finding and using free 3D models, free textures, free sound effects for any usage. (Sources : sketchfab.com, textures.com, creazilla.com, pixabay.com, flaticon.com)
• Thinking and understanding how a game module could work, then I designed and coded this game module with my own ways.
