Billiards 8-Ball

Classic 8-ball pool. One player takes the solids (1–7), the other the stripes (9–15). Pocket all of your group, then sink the 8-ball to win.

Controls

• Aim: press or drag on the table — the cue points from the cue ball towards your finger / mouse. Arrow keys ← → rotate the aim (hold Shift for fine adjustment).
• Power & shoot: drag along the power bar under the table and release to shoot (or hold Space and release). Drag back to the start to cancel.
• Spin: tap the small cue-ball icon to choose where to strike it: top = follow, bottom = draw (screw back), left/right = side spin that changes the angle off the cushions. Keys W A S D also set spin.
• The guide shows the ghost ball, where the object ball will go and where the cue ball deflects.
• Ball in hand: drag the cue ball to any free spot (behind the head string after a break scratch).

Rules

• The table is open after the break. The first ball you legally pocket afterwards decides your group.
• Pocket one of your balls and you shoot again. Otherwise the turn passes.
• Fouls give your opponent ball in hand: scratching (cue ball in a pocket), missing every ball, hitting the opponent's group (or the 8) first, or no ball reaching a cushion after contact.
• Pocketing the 8 before your group is cleared, or scratching while sinking it, loses the game. An 8 sunk on the break is re-spotted.
