[BNM] [OT] Offside rule explained for girls

[David Wren]

Ok I was bored, is this close?

function check_onside(position_of_ball,attacker,last_defender) {

  if (attacker > position_of_ball) { //if attacker is infront of the ball,
check they are on side

    if (attacker <= last_defender) {

      return true; //onside

    else {

      if (!is_player_active(attacker)) {

        return true; //onside

      }

        return false; //offside

      }

    }

  } else {

    return true; //onside

  }

}

function is_player_active(player) {

  //work out if player is active or not

}

ball.onPlay = check_onside(x,y,z);
