Abstract
The 3D game development is more challenging than 2D game development.
Moving further we observe that working on 3D sport game development is even
more challenging. A developer needs to control all the players of the game using
AI (Artificial Intelligence). The research represents the soccer game development
using the Unity Engine. There are several methods for the development. This
project is based upon the application of the concept of ‘UnityEngine.RigidBody’.
The project results in a small game of shooting the penalties in the soccer.

Setting and organizing the Game Objects

The environment can be structured in any convenient way. Fig (a) and (b)
represents the Scene and Game tab view of the environment in which the Main
Camera is adjusted towards the goalpost and the inbuilt directional light has been
used.

A sphere game object is used as the soccer ball to which RigidBody is added to
(refer from above) and then the C# script has been incorporated in the game
object.

Adding the C# script and understanding the contents

 The figure above represents the C# script added to the game object (the ball). The
detailed illustrations of this script are one of the purposes of this study.

These are the 1 – 5 lines of C# script in which the first line is written to inform that
all the functions are being used for unityEngine. The second line explains that all
the functions will be written in the class (the concept of the programming
language) of the name of the script. The code begins from the third line.
The statements from 3 – 5 represent the variables being assigned to some
constant values.

Type Description

int The integer data type stores positive or negative whole numbers eg. 5

The float data type stores floating point numbers (numbers with decimal places). The float data type is the
float
default number type in Unity eg. 5.25

The double data type stores floating point numbers but can hold larger size numbers than floats. It is not the
double
default number type in Unity though.

bool The bool (short for Boolean) data type stores true or false values only eg. true

The char data type stores a single character such as a letter, number, space or special character (eg. a, 1,
char
!). A char value is written in single quotes eg. ‘a’.

The string data type stores letters, numbers and other characters in the form of words or sentences. A
string
string value is written inside double quotes eg. “Hello World”.

Fig – Data types to assign values to variables

 The figure represents the statements from 9 – 18 under void Update () {. All these
statements have been written using if statements (if following key is pressed,
then following should happen). Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.key) is the statement
used for receiving input from the keyboard and performing the function specified
under the if statements. Under if statements, AddForce is the function that is to
be performed by the rb (RigidBody). Inside the parenthesis are the variables and
constants of the vectors X ,Y and Z that are adjusted according to the force
needed to be applied. Magnitude of vector x are equal in all statements but the
direction is made opposite by inversing the sign to negative.
Building the game in Windows Platform

After the script been made, the game is ready to be built for windows platform.
To start, we’re going to open up your Unity project and configure the build
settings. To configure your settings in Unity, first click “File,” then “Build
Settings.”
Next, choose Windows Store in the Platform Window.

Next, click the Player Settings… button.

Enter your game details in the “Player Settings” window such as your
default icon and product name. Your build settings are now properly
configured in Unity3D to allow you to export.
Click on the Build button in the Build Settings window. You will be
prompted with a Build Windows Store dialog to select a folder for building
your game.

Once you have selected the folder, Unity will begin building your game,
targeting the platform you selected. This can take several minutes if you
have a lot of assets.

Summary

So the project and study on the concept of RigidBody has led to the development
of the soccer game in unity editor. There are many concepts that can be used to
develop such games with good gaming experience. There is futher scope of
making it a Virtual Reality game.
