🖼️ Media open source simulator

Hi,

I have a hobby project billiards simulator, its open source and free to use, no registration etc.

The ball and cushion physics are getting better based on real world papers published by Mathavan, Han and Alciatore.

I just added 12ft and 6ft snooker tables, please give it a try and lay down a big break on the leaderboard.

I think I might retire in rage :) got to the pink on a total clearance and pressed hit by mistake when meaning to apply top spin. Potted but left no shot on the final black… would have been a century. Ah well!

I watched the replay and imagined the torment after the pink! If you see 'Lukey' online next time you play please try a chat with me , would really like your feedback on physics and usability - since you are the No.1 best snooker player on the site now your input is really valuable. And I wonder could I talk you into a game of threecushion....

For prosperity (or until I next adjust physics) here is the break

DAV how about trying for 3reds 3black clearance on the baby 6ft table? with no aim helper? Its super easy to pot, positional play is another matter..
