My Football Game

This one is Jacob's as well. My son made it when he was nine: his idea, his game, and his own fixes once I had talked him through the instructions. It is a canvas football match - one player against the AI, or two players sharing one keyboard. An online mode ships with it too, but the Socket.IO server it dials no longer answers, so the local modes are the ones to rely on.
