I am looking for a developer to create a 2d football/soccer simulation framework. The program should allow a user to easilly install 3rd party programs that can control teams. This project is not time-sensitive, so I will not award until near the end of the bidding time.
Budget:
250$USD-1000$USD (Non-negotiable)
Timeframe:
~1-2 months is preferred but is negotiable.
Key Features:
- A standalone program for a robust 2d football/soccer simulation framework.
- Compatibility with Windows 10 OS.
- Seamless 3rd party program implementation
- Coding language does not matter, as long as you can complete all requirements
Ideal candidates for this project should have:
- Prior work with modding tools/implementation in video games or equivalent experience. (Required)
- Basic 2d design skills.
- Experience creating easy-to-understand documentation.
- Experience with Windows platform development.
- Fluent English communication skills.
- A passion for football/soccer would be a plus.
I am somewhat flexible with suggestions and modifications of scope.

How I expect the framework to act:
Basic kick-in (throw-in), goal kick, corner kick, game re/start, and game-end situations are required.
The players and the ball are expected to move according to 2d vectors. Curved and off-the-ground passes are out of scope.
Player Actions
- Turn
- Accelerate
- Decelerate
- Control (the ball)
- Pass
Anything in this paragraph is open to change. A player should be able to only take two actions per cycle. One cycle should constitute 0.1 seconds. 3rd party programs should be able to request all field data and send 2 random actions for each player without the simulation lagging. Lag from 3rd party programs calculating the data is somewhat expected, but basic arithmetic by 3rd party programs would preferably not cause lag.
Control success should be calculated with consideration of ball and player distance, pure vector values, and comparative vector relationship. (A ball farther away from a player would be harder to control, a fast ball should be harder to control, a player would have a harder time controlling if they're moving away from a ball, etc.)
Pass accuracy should be calculated in a similar manner to control success.
The simulation program must allow the user to upload a 3rd party program to control each team. These uploaded programs, acting as "brains" for the teams, should be able to receive game data (e.g., the position, rotation, and velocity of all vector objects, whether the ball is controlled and by which player, each team’s score, and the time/cycles remaining) and send up to two unique actions per player on their respective teams. The ability to create detailed team programs is outside the scope of this project; however, ensuring that these programs are easy to implement should be a primary consideration.
The simulation program will function as a self-contained system on the user’s device, with no internet access. The uploaded program acts as a temporary part of the simulation, similar to adding a "head" to control the team while the simulation serves as the "body." Establishing seamless integration between the simulation and 3rd party programs is anticipated to be the most challenging aspect, which is why expertise in video game modding is specifically sought.
Graphics are not a priority. Rectangles (for pitch lines) with 23 circles (11 per team + ball), and vector lines would suffice. An example is attached below. UI needs to be simple and easy to use. Fullscreen option is desired, but not required. I would expect a button to start/stop the simulation, a scoreboard with cycles/time remaining and the score of each team, buttons to upload a brain (3rd party program) for each team, and a button to start the simulation.
A simple game replay feature is not a requirement, but is desired. Can be as simple as recording and exporting a video file of the game to a folder or as complicated as saving the actions/results/status for all 23 vector bodies in a file that can be replayed with the framework program.

Hi,
I believe my experience in game development and working with modding tools can help bring your vision to life. The project is intriguing, particularly with the focus on simulating football actions and enabling easy integration with external programs that can control teams.
Additionally, I’ve worked on similar projects where I had to ensure that third-party interactions did not impact the performance of the simulation.
Regarding the player actions and movement, I can set up the system to handle the various control actions like turning, accelerating, and passing with proper consideration of the distance, velocity, and other dynamic factors that impact ball control. I’ll make sure the calculations for control success and pass accuracy are consistent with the game’s physics, keeping everything intuitive for both the simulation and the third-party programs interacting with it.
The UI will be user-friendly, and I’ll provide documentation to make sure the system is easy to set up for others who want to integrate their own programs.
I bring a personalized approach to the project, ensuring all aspects of the game framework, from system architecture to documentation, are handled by one person. I’m confident I can create a smooth and enjoyable experience for users, making sure the third-party integration is straightforward and the core game mechanics work well.
