Hello people of CD! Members of our team have put in a lot of hard work into making an awesome simulator of this years game!:cool: From what we have tested the simulator runs on IE and Firefox (Unfortunately not chrome).

So while your waiting for regional events to start kicking off get your Stronghold fix here:
http://www.team20.com/resources/team-20-first-stronghold-simulator/

Let me know if you're able to beat my high score! (30 points)

Awesome simulator, but it feels like lunacy all over again..

I got to 5. :(

Fantastic simulator. Runs pretty fast with not much lag. The movement of the robot is pretty bad though. I would greatly improve deceleration speed and decrease the time it takes to full decelerate to make the driving more smooth. Turning is actually pretty good as far as I can tell.

I have spent the last 10 minutes just doing donuts around the field (intentionally), this is how stronghold was meant to be played :P

RIP headphones:eek:

Drivetrain needs work, other than that, love it.

Lots of fun - kept friends occupied for quite a while. The driving reminds me of 33's 2014 robot because of how much you can drift.

Yes, it turned out to be much harder to get the robot to move correctly than initially thought. I'll talk to the lead developer on whether we can change just deceleration without messing up turning.

Very very nice. A cool feature in the future (no pun intended) would be to select drivetrain types (tank, swerve, lunacy, etc).

Team 20, great job with the simulator! A huge accomplishment to be able to publish something this nice. Much tougher than it looks to develop software.

Also, new high score ;)

I have no idea... :yikes: :P

EDIT:

I have a new personal high score. (I'm getting close to the high score! :P)

When does Multi-Player come out?

As someone who is also working in unity with wheeled objects, I can attest to the difficulty of dealing with wheel physics in video games. Other than the fundamental challenges regarding calculating dry friction on multiple connected rigidbodies, PhysX's wheel colliders have been rather broken in their latest release, meaning we all have to make our own wheel physics if we want our vehicles to act sensibly.

Now that would be interesting. :P That would actually be quite cool. :)

I was talking about this with a few of my friends this morning. It would make drive team practice a lot of fun.

Excellent work, guys! Like others have said, a multiplayer feature would really change things up...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but is the simulator still available online? I can't find it on Team 20's site (the link is broken).

The simulator is no longer on our website. Mid-September the page stopped working, so we took it down. The page would start to load, and then go completely blank. If anyone has any insight into what might have been causing this problem, advice would be appreciated so we could try to get it back up.

We are also working on trying to fix the problem where the robot would have no friction with the field for next season's simulator.

Any way you could host the file somewhere so it can be downloaded? I find that these FRC simulators work better when downloaded anyway. It should work that way if the problem was just the website. I know Windows doesn't always like Unity-based applications running in a browser, so maybe the server had a problem with it?

Figured I would share this since the thread was revived anyway. This screenshot was taken a few months ago.
Really fun simulator! I hope you do this again next year!

Oh dear. It appears I am getting 404-ed. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't think so. That section of the website is having problems.

3539 the byting bulldogs have made a good simulator (http://notiondynamics.com/bytingbulldogs/) in case anyone on this thread wants to kill some time playing it.. I can say that I wasted a good amount of time over the summer playing it late at nights

I'm just getting a black screen when I go to the link.

Note: It might not be the website's fault. It might be the fact that I'm on Chrome OS on a Chromebook

Confirmed.
Sorry, Google Chrome can't run this app
You are using Google Chrome that does not support the Unity Web Player plugin needed to run this app.
We recommend using another browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera

Try using Firefox - chrome doesn't like Unity games like this.

This is pretty fun. It works well. I especially enjoyed making shots from the opposite batter! :D

In case anyone is wondering, it seems to work on a web archive (http://web.archive.org/web/20160225062548/http://www.team20.com/resources/team-20-first-stronghold-simulator).

This. 3539's simulator is awesome. I only have one problem with it: it doesn't run on my laptop(MacBook Pro, quad-core with dedicated graphics and 16 GB RAM). It might run with lag for up to 5 minutes, then the whole computer freezes. I have tried it in different browsers. :( Team 20's works perfectly fine on it though...

In case anyone is wondering, it seems to work on a web archive (http://web.archive.org/web/20160225062548/http://www.team20.com/resources/team-20-first-stronghold-simulator).

That does work! (Why didn't I think of that? :p) Thanks for posting that! :D

This got me thinking..."I wonder if it works for other online games?" It turns out that it does! Or at least it seems to so far...
