Free Tennis is a virtual tennis game which has been created by a former tennis professional. It offers players the chance to simulate the sport and enjoy a realistic, interactive experience for free.
One of the standout features of Free Tennis is its advanced AI that reflects real tactics. Players have to use these tactics to win, such as taking the net with a slow, low shot (backspin), playing diagonal to avoid giving angles, and getting back to the center after the shot. With different players having different skills, you'll have to learn new tactics and strategies to win against each different player.
The game's graphic gestures are realistic and elegant, which makes the game even more enjoyable. It's no surprise that the game is developed by a former tennis player since its authenticity is evident throughout.
Another great thing about Free Tennis is that it's free software released under the GPL license. This means that the game is not only free, but it can also be modified, studied, and shared. If you need another license, you can easily ask the author.
To play Free Tennis, you'll need to have some required libraries installed on your device. These include libcamlimages-ocaml-dev, libsdl-ocaml-dev, libsdl-gfx1.2-dev, libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, libsdl-image1.2-dev, libsdl-ttf2.0-dev, and liblablgl-ocaml-dev.
The latest version of the game has some key improvements, such as the fact that gtkglarea is not needed to compile the game anymore. Additionally, the compilation error "unbound value GlGtk.region_of_raw" has been fixed, and the missing "libgtkgl-2.0" problem in the precompiled executable has been fixed. With all these improvements, Free Tennis is an excellent simulation game that any tennis enthusiast should try.
