Here's what an ASCII Soccer game looks like. It won't look quite right on your screen unless you can view 80 characters across. This first view is the initial start of the game:
ASCII=Soccer=v1.3====(q)uit====(s)lower====(f)aster============================= | | | > < | | | | | | | | | | | | > < | | | | | | O | | | | | | > < | | | | | | | | | | | | > < | | | ================================================================================ Krazy Kickers 0 Socker Spaniels 0
The four Krazy Kickers start on the left. Each player is shown as a "greater-than" symbol. The Socker Spaniels are the "less-than" symbols on the right. The ball is an "O" that starts in a vertically random spot in the horizontal middle of the field.
Now the game begins:
SCII=Soccer=v1.3====(q)uit====(s)lower====(f)aster============================= | | | | | | | | | | | > | | < | | | | > | | | | O | | > < | | | | < | | > < | | | | | | | | | | | | | ================================================================================ Krazy Kickers 0 Socker Spaniels 0
In the next snapshot the Krazy Kickers have gained a definite advantage.
ASCII=Soccer=v1.3====(q)uit====(s)lower====(f)aster============================= | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | < | | > | | > > O | | > | | <<< | | | ================================================================================ Krazy Kickers 0 Socker Spaniels 0
The Krazy Kickers advance towards the goal line, and eventually score:
ASCII=Soccer=v1.3====(q)uit====(s)lower====(f)aster============================= | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | >< | | > < | | > < > O | | < | | | | | ================================================================================ Krazy Kickers 0 Socker Spaniels 0
