Billiards — specifically 8-ball pool — is one of the world's most popular cue sports. Players compete to pocket seven balls of their assigned group (solids 1–7 or stripes 9–15) and then legally pocket the 8-ball to win. Originating in 15th-century Europe, pool has evolved into a global competitive sport. Professional pool players can make the cue ball travel over 6 feet after a shot using precise English (spin), demonstrating incredible control over physics.
This game simulates realistic 8-ball pool physics on an HTML5 Canvas. Aim by moving your mouse (or dragging on mobile) around the cue ball — a dotted trajectory line predicts the shot path including the first cushion bounce. Drag back to set power, then release to shoot. The spin control lets you offset the contact point for top spin (follow) or back spin (draw). Win by pocketing all your group's balls before sinking the 8-ball.
Pocket all your assigned balls (solids 1-7 or stripes 9-15) then legally pocket the 8-ball. Scratching on the 8-ball loses the game.
Click the spin control circle to offset the cue contact point. Top spin makes the cue ball follow, back spin makes it draw back after contact.
Currently you play against an AI opponent at three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard.
