More Violence!

If there is one thing soccer is known for it must be the soccer riots. These are integral parts of the sport and the culture, and while I didn't choose to add a fighter aspect to the soccer game I am making, i did manage to add a bit of violence to the game of soccer

If you take a close look at the image above you can see two new entities in the game, namely the orange circles with the black crosses on them. These are what i affectionately refer to as my murderbots. The job of the murderbots is to move up and down in a straight line and kill any player or AI that touches it. Whenever a player or AI comes into contact with the murderbots they are turned removed from the game until either team scores a goal at which point they will be brought back to life.

This change was great as it makes the game more complicated and adds a level of skill and tactics to the way you play the game. It also required me to plan for a way for the AI players to avoid death. To do this I used a fairly simple flee behaviour which was constantly being added to the velocity of the entity.
