OPQA-AltGr doesn't sound too bad. Can you actually program AltGr for shooting?
Alternatively, if you're going to do a keyboard for both player A and B, perhaps you could use
ERQA-Alt for player 1 and
OPUJ-AltGr for player 2
Just an idea

I've been playing it a bit. It seems Alkis has taking care of business.
I just wanna say that I really do enjoy this. Very good work Gianluca. Looking forward to the next beta. Maybe you could make it possible for those living down-under to score?

I just played the beta two player with my brother (JZ) and what can I say?...
...Fantastic!! Brilliant!!
After the disappointment with KO-2004 this game could be not just an alternative, but better
Is there any chance of Gerie contributing his graphical genious? i.e balls, hair etc?
Also, it is a little poo with one player having to play with the keys while the other has joystick - can it be fixed to have joystick for each player?
A seperate forum for this would be most welcome

Keep Up The Good Work Gianluca

Thank you for your kind words.
Joystick Port 2 doesn't work?really?
Have you tried to set this configuration:
Player one - Joystick port 1
Player two - Joystick port 2
(in the main menu use arrows keys to select an option left/right to change)
let me know if it's work.
-what is a "dink dink" sound?
-about the scanner size i will do it later

Good news!
it could sound "strange" but i'm proud to announce that from now Throw-in will be the first computer game where "the same shot from the same position with the same player against the same goalkeeper has NOT the same result "
Without telling you the details
i can only say that the keeper could conceed some of the shots just outside the box if they are powerful and near the post.Sometimes he could even do miracles.
(However he will not conceed easy shots and he will not save impossible shots).
But the most exciting factor is that his behaviour is absolutely realistic!
Now i have to adjust with your help the ratio of this factor miracle/mistake.
However each keeper will have a different ratio.
