You can
place the cue ball before the break shot and after the
foul. To do this, select 'Move Ball' menu item or tap
'm' on graffiti area then tap with the stylus in any
place of the table and drag to the needed position.
After that toggle 'Move Ball' menu item again.
To
make a shot, tap the center of the ball with the stylus
and drag it back (drag-and-drop). When you release the
stylus the shot power will be proportionate to the
distance dragged from the ball. You can also control the
stroke strength using the power indicator. This method
defaults to 30% of the maximum force.
 |
 - The ball intended for a stroke with
the cue is in the center.The black cross sets the
ball's spin (Spin). All the strokes in
the initial position are made in the center .You
can change this by mere taping any point of the
ball.
 - Left button enables you to spin the
table a full 180 degrees ( you can also use this
function with the help of "Page Up" and
"Page Down" buttons) that can make the performing
of the stroke easier in some positions. Middle

made by you or your opponent. Right button - game
menu.
 - Another way to make a stroke: tap the
ball intended for the stroke, then tap the cue and
spin in the desired direction. You can choose the
strength of the stroke by tapping the point on the
graphic strength indicator . Press the "GO"
button. This variant is recommended for more
accurate strokes, because you can set the trace of
the stroke with the help of two buttons. Left
button enables you to spin the table a full 180
degrees ( you can also use this function with the
help of "Page Up" and "Page Down" buttons)
that can make the performing of the stroke easier
in some positions. Right button enables you
to replay the last stroke made by you or your
opponent.

While developing this game we had had to study
the rules of the different variants of the game.
So we thought: why shouldn't we write the game for
people, who don't know the basic rules and have no
time to study them? In any case we should say,
that it is our favorite game because of the
minimum amount of restrictions. Play as you wish
to play.
You have only one
objective:
to pocket the 8-ball into the
chosen pocket after all the balls of the chosen
color were pocketed.
We set limited
restrictions for this game: no restrictions for
breaks shot, no demands for the stroke, after
scratching cue ball in hand behind headstring,
player loses the game if 8-Ball was illegally
pocketed |
 |
This game is based on the original
BCA Rules : http://www.bca-pool.com/
Note: After FOUL
the incoming player may drag the cue ball anywhere
on the table (with the help of stylus).

For more detailed information,
please address to the reference: http://www.uscarom.org/
In a three-cushion game, the cue-ball must touch
the cushion at least three times before the carom
occurs. These three cushions can be three
different cushions, but the cue-ball also can
touch the same cushion twice or more times.
- A carom occurs if the player's cue-ball
touches the two other balls.

Purpose of Game
Whoever
is first in scoring 8 pocketed balls - wins.
Used Balls
The game is played with 16
balls; each of these can be used as a cue ball or
as an object ball. Playing Game
A
player may pocket any object ball with a cue ball
or may pocket a cue ball after it hits one or
several object balls. Balls and pockets do not
have to be indicated or called. If a stroke is
legal, i.e. performed correctly, each pocketed
ball is considered to be won by the player.

This
mode is designed for your individual trainings to get
the skills in all games that are presented in
"Billiards". Selecting "Full Tracks" in
Options you can figure all the shots with
filigree accuracy.

Collisions between balls.
After collision of balls, object
ball (red) rebounds by the line, which connects
the centers of the balls at the moment of
contacting (blue line). After collision cue ball
rebounds perpendicularly to the line, which
connects the centers of the balls at the moment of
contacting and then for Topspin shot (Follow) it
moves forward, for Backspin shot (Draw) it moves
back.
Cushions.
For center
ball hit the rebound angle of cushion is
approximately equal to the strike angle. After
Right English hit (Right side spin) cue ball moves
right. After Left English hit (Left side spin) cue
ball moves left. Backspin shot (Draw) decreases
rebound angle of cushion. Topspin shot (Follow)
increases rebound angle.
Change the angle
of cue elevation allows you to curve path of cue
ball (the masse’ shot). |
