Comments on: 3D Pool: 8 Ball Billiards Game https://plays.org/3d-pool/ Tue, 18 May 2021 09:51:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: Angela https://plays.org/3d-pool/#comment-580 Tue, 18 May 2021 09:51:48 +0000 https://plays.org/?p=1056#comment-580 This game simulates pool or billiards, in particular, the 8 ball game. It has a total of 15 balls. 7 are striped while 7 come in solid colors. The player who scores a ball first gets assigned a group of balls. For example, if player 1 puts a solid number 2 ball in a hole first, they have to hit and shoot all solid colored balls. Likewise, player 2 will have to hit and shoot all striped balls in the hole. If you shoot a ball that is not assigned to you, it is considered a foul. In which case, you do not get a point. You basically shot your opponent’s ball, making it easier for them to clear their set. The goal is to finish your assigned balls the fastest. Once you clear all your balls, you can shoot the black 8 ball. Whoever shoots the 8 ball first wins.

The game is tricky because the angle tends to shift. You may think you got it right, but it changes a bit when you pull back. This part of the game can get frustrating, but is remedied with practice. I appreciate how the balls move in a realistic trajectory . I think it’s a good way to study angles when you’re serious about pool. The invisible ball and lines also help you visualize the direction of the ball. It’s just hard to maintain the angle. Even gauging the force you need when you take a shot. But overall, a really interesting and engaging game.
