Jasc means Just Another Sensi Clone, it’s a football simulation written in FreeBasic language.
The goal of this project is to create a free clone of Sensible Soccer with a similar graphical-feel and ball control. The sofwtare is released under the terms of GPL license.
Create a clone doesn’t means copy or reuse original data or code of Sensible Soccer. Everything is done from the beginning, even the sprites (totally handmade - no pixel recycling). To be honest, the stadium sprites are partially inspired to Yoda Soccer stadium in order to honour this game.
Someone asked me to create a user guide to explain game features. It’s a good idea.
So, here’s a little
I hope to not be boring...
Main Menu From main menu it’s possible to select various thinghs such:
- two teams for the match
- game lenght (mins: 3, 5, 7, 10)
- pitch type
- tactic editor
- team editor (of the firt selected team)
- behaviour editor
Use arrow keys to navigate the menu and Enter key to select a section.
Are available various teams with 16 player each. Every player has personal skill values in fields like precision, stamina, speed and so on. It’s possible to edit these teams - see Team editor
Team editor allows to edit the first team selected. It’s possible to customize name, skin, and player skill in variour fields. The player’s value is dinamically calculated (maximum allowed 15M - like in SWOS). Use arrow key to navigate, enter to select a value and: if you are editing a name, press BACKSPACE to delete the name and type it, then press Enter again if you are editing a value, use arrow key to increase/decrease (UP DOWN +-10 / LEFT/RIGHT +-1), then press Enter again if you are editing the skin, use arrow key to select a skin and press Enter again Dont’ forget to press CONTROL+S to save and back to Main menu
O yeah! It’s possible to customize tactics. There are 10 tactic slot available. In other words there are 36 ball position and 256 player position along the playfield. For example if the ball is in 18th position (almost the middle) then the Y player should be in the 240th position. Use arrow key to move the ball along the playfield, mouse wheel to select a player, and mouse & click to select a player position.
Use key from 0-9 to select a tactic slot to edit. It is possible to copy & paste the whole team position (CTRL + C, CTRL + V). It’s possible to save pressing "S" (current tactic) or "A" (all tactics). Tactic name is not editable yet.
This section edits the behaviour of CPU’s controlled player while in ball possession - See Developer Guide Section for further informations
It is possible to play against the PC or simply watch a match. Player vs. Player is not supported yet.
**Aftertouch: **after kicking the ball is possible to bend it turning a little the kick direction
During the match it is possible to change on-the-fly both tactic & formation:
Press “F” Key to change formation, formation menu will appear. Use arrow keys & Enter to swap player positions. Substitutions not allowed yet. Like in 1905.
Press “T” Key to change tactic, tactic menu will appear. Use arrow keys & Enter to select a tactic.
Press “ESC” to exit from the match
User input while in game (only one button to perform all actions like in SWOS):
Keyboard control: Arrow keys & RIGHT CONTROL Key to perform actions such kicking, heading, sliding.
Joystick control: if the joystick is connected and recognized it could be selected via the main menu. Analogue control is supported.
And... last but not least
If you are brave enough to fight against my spaghetti code...
Along the match it is possible to show some useful debug informations.
Press “D” key to enter debug mode. There are 10 levels of debug mode with even further displayed informations, press again “D” key to show these informations. While in debug mode the user can press** keys 0-7 **to simulate some Match_Events
I will explain it later.
Screensize selector: until now could be changed only at compile time from const.bi file:
const SCREEN_W as Integer = 640 const SCREEN_H as Integer = 480
I will explain it later.
Jasc has a basilar form of AI, based upon tactic and pre-computed player's behaviour. The behaviour has effect on the action that a player performs when has the ball. There's a behaviour's pre-computed table ("_data/bhv.dat") based on the tile (from 0 to 35) where the player is over. For example, if the is in the X tile, has a choice of action to perform based upon a percentage (for example 15% pass to other player; 20% shoot on goal; 15% go ahead... and so on). At this moment –for debugging- some actions are disabled. If the player shoots on goal another function returns the best angle of shoot based upon player's position, goalkeeper's position, and net's position. Is available a behaviour editor… but it's still in beta.
The tactic involves the way a player move himself when he is without ball. There are 10 slot of tactic, by default there are these modules: 442, 433, 352, 532, 424, 451, 541, SWEEP, DEFEND, ATTACK. Each tactic slot is saved on a plain txt file. Tactic are stored in plain text files into the “/_data” path with "*.tac" extension. The easiest way to modify it is using the Tactic Editor of the game.
All data (teams, players, tactics, behaviour) are stored in plain text files into the “/_data” path.
You’re really a brave!

If you read until here it means that you wish to understand better in order contribute to this project - thanks! It could mean also you have too much spare-time. If it’s so, go outside and play real football :)
