This is an open-source project bringing unsophisticated billiards physics written in typescript to a browser near you. Play pool, snooker, or 3-cushion online for free!
- Backspin and sidespin well modeled.
- Presentation using WebGL in any modern browser on mobile, linux, mac or windows.
- Record and playback breaks.
- Two player online mode with node websocket server.
- Nine ball, Snooker and three cushion billiards rules.
- Deploys to github pages, vercel.com and render.com with github actions.
Demos run in all major desktop and mobile browsers and uses WebGL
- Nine ball ⬀ make a break and share replay link with friends
- Three cushion billiards ⬀ the ultimate test of physics and player (average on both counts)
- Snooker ⬀ we await the first 147 submission to the leaderboard.
- 4-ball Straight pool ⬀.
- Inspect physics and tweak constants using diagrams.
- Try to get on the leaderboard of highest breaks hosted on vercel.com
- Try two player online hosted on render.com
- Papers on ball mechanics Han 2005 with important corrections by Kiefl.
- cushions, max spin, simulation and constants 1 2 3 4 5
- 3D graphics uses three.js
- Inline LaTeX editor for equations in README.md
Based on Han 2005 paper
