Pool

Two ways to play

Singleplayer is free practice. Multiplayer is a 1v1 match: one player creates a game and shares a four-letter code, the other joins with it. Turns follow standard 8-ball rules.

To shoot, drag from the cue ball and release. The further you pull, the more power.

No server in the middle

The two players connect to each other peer-to-peer through PeerJS. There are no game servers to run and nothing to set up on the router.

What is inside

The code is split by responsibility. The physics are not a library: collisions, friction and pockets are handled by a billiards engine written for this game, and there is a self-test for it.
