Pool Game
Download the Simulation
Description
The program is a simple pool table simulation. There are four normal balls
on the table and the cue ball (which is the bright red one). Balls collide
and bounce physically as far as linear momentum is concerned. With rotation,
I simply made the ball rotate based on how fast it was moving, but could seem
to get something that looked quite realistic enough.
The controls for the table are pretty simple, the mouse (and on backup, the
arrow keys) control the view. While holding the left mouse button, up/down
with the mouse tilts the view, and left/right swivels the camera around the
table. Hold the right mouse button and moving the mouse up/down zooms in
and out. You can press 'q' to give all
of the balls a random velocity. 's' causes the cue ball to shoot in the
direction the camera is facing. Finally, 1 and 2 toggle the lights on and off.
