Manual (default): hold down and move your mouse downwards to set the power manually. 8-ball Rules The default game rules pretty much follow these rules from the English Pool Association: http://www.epa.org.uk/rules.php You can change the 8-ball rules in the game menus – ‘Set Rules’. Straight Pool Rules We’re not playing strict rules, so you don’t have to nominate balls and pockets, as this slows the game down and makes flukes illegal – where’s the fun in that? So basically, each ball potted scores you 1 point. Any ball can be potted at any time – including the black. If you foul – miss all balls or go in off – then you’ll lose 1 point. The table will re-rack once there are less than 2 object balls on the table. If the cue ball or remaining object ball are near the triangle, they will be moved on re-rack. UPDATE 3: Tried to stop the “XXX is thinking…” bug. Changed the ball collisions a little. Implemented new AI Players – only slightly different. Bugs PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS – Cheersshow less Instructions Take Shot: see in game ‘Menu’ – Timer/Manual Power. Cancel Shot: see in game ‘Menu’ Z: Speed up (Zips) shot.
