Sumoscience

## Description

Sumoscience is a game for people who want to learn more about sumo. It models the physics (forces/collisions) between the wrestlers. You can do a frontal pushout, belt pushout, slapdowns, and throws. You can practice in the sumoobeya or try your skills in an osumoo tournament. In the sumoobeya, you can change the attack style and level of your opponent to practice how to deal with certain attacks. You can also select automatic play to watch the computer play itself.

In the game, you are the wrestler with the yellow belt. On the right side is a first person view of your opponent with various buttons for various attacks. The red button is for pushing the chest. The yellow buttons are for slapping the head down. The green buttons grab the belt and if you have the belt, then blue throw buttons will appear. You need to keep your opponent in view by pressing the turn buttons at the bottom of the first person view. On the left side of the screen are forward and backward walking buttons. You must keep moving forward for most attacks, but slapdown requires that you have space between you and your opponent (otherwise you break his fall). Although we attempt to make the physics realistic, it is pretty hard to deal with every possible situation and sometimes you will have strange situations that are fun to watch (e.g., flying sumo wrestlers).
