This is part of a bigger thing called the Robocup, whose goal is to develop a team of soccer playing robots that can beat (and later enslave?) a human team by 2050.
One of the classes in the DAInamite API (i don't know if that's the right terminology) is called TackleAction, here's a description of it:
The TackleAction is a main action that lets the player perform a kick with a bigger distance than with the KickAction, but it has also some big disadvantages, so that it should be used only in special situations. The first disadvantage is that the player needs to be turned in ball direction to perform a successful tackling. Even then the tackling could fail. The probability to fail increases the further away the ball is. The next disadvantage is that the player who performed the tackling cannot do any actions in the next 10 cycles, so use this command with care. The kick direction of the ball cannot be influenced very much. In general it is the direction of the body of the player. The power argument can be a value between -100 and 100 where a positive argument means a kick in body direction and a negative kick means a kick
in the opposite direction. By calculating the resukting ball speed from the old ball speed and the argument, is is possible to kick to different angles.
Mark your calendars, kiddies: Gogol Bordello is coming to town on Thursday, November 1st. First Avenue will be hopping (literally). Gogol's energy is irresistable. But what do I know...
"Their live shows are lunatic spectacles of debauchery that resemble an Iggy Pop show done in immigrant vaudeville style."
-- City Pages
"If you've seen Gogol Bordello before you understand already, if you haven't, well... it will cure your acne, give your hair luxurious shine and body, solve your girl troubles, add ten years on your life, and send your kids to college. It's a good live show."

"Brooklyn's legendary Gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, was recently named one of the top 20 live bands performing today by Rolling Stone magazine. Anyone who has seen them live will not be surprised the band made the list. To say they are a unique experience would be to grossly understate the obvious."

ooh... my mom would be pissed if she found out i used the american double-pluralization. (pierogi is already plural in polish). thanks to wikipedia for reminding me.
At no point during her rambling, incoherent response was she close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. We are all now dumber for having listened to it...
not too much seriousness here at ta but this was moving enough to bear mentioning. I did try to watch the video below to cheer me up, but it just made my heart hurt.
Well, it sounds like we'd be criticizing Pitchfork's taste instead of yours. So, I will do so with the Pitchforkmedia.com Drinking Game, courtesy of Cracked.com.
I think having an ALT tag might be a good idea. And along with you keywords links to your present and/or gift are also relevant to the google search results. though much more relevant if they come from relevant sites.
According to the Art Tatum Wikipedia page: an MIT student invented a term that's now in common usage in the field of computational musicology: The Tatum. It means "the smallest perceptual time unit in music."
I like this quote: "The jazz pianist and educator Kenny Barron has commented that "I have every record [Tatum] ever made -- and I try never to listen to them . . . If I did, I'd throw up my hands and give up!"
I can kinda relate to that. For the few things that i think i kinda do well, when i see someone that makes me wonder why i even try, i get this nauseous feeling. It's one of the reason's i drink.
Yeah, that is a great quote. I can identify too, BUT when someone comes along with unbelievable talent, it shows you what's possible. Such a thing can lead to profound inspiration.
I don't have any of his albums (yet). All I have are some songs on a compilation that caught my attention.
That's a good point, HOWEVER i find that if someone is creating from a place you cannot comprehend you may be destined to merely imitate it rather than use it as inspiration.
I think this is a programming language for a soccer game - It seems it is a 2d soccer simluation where students can play soccer games by programming characters.
