If so, what's the name of this game and what are the official rules as my memory is failing me.

as3 billiards game, sticky rotating balls problem.? Hello everyone im trying to solve a problem ive been having, I have been developing a 2d billiards game and have run into a problem as anyone who has tried to make a billiards game before probably knows all too well. Anyways here is a link to my .swf (http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1277161886) to demonstrate my problem, when you blast the cue ball at any ball on the table if the cue ball travels two much in between the current frame and the last frame it will overlap the ball being hit and will stick and rotate. heres the code every frame I loop threw all the balls on table to check for a collision. private function enterFrameHandler( E:Event ):void { for (var i = 0; i < mcBallContainer.numChildren; i++) { var mcBall1:* =mcBallContainer.getChildAt(i); for (var j = i + 1; j < mcBallContainer.numChildren; j++) { var mcBall2:* =mcBallContainer.getChildAt(j); solveBalls( mcBall2, mcBall1 ); } } then the solveBalls function private function solveBalls( MCBallA:MovieClip, MCBallB:MovieClip ):void { if(detect(MCBallA, MCBallB) == true) { react(MCBallA, MCBallB); } } here is the collision detections private function detect(a:MovieClip , b:MovieClip) : Boolean { var cDiff:Point = new Point( b.Position.x - a.Position.x, b.Position.y - a.Position.y ); var c:Number = Math.sqrt(cDiff.x * cDiff.x + cDiff.y * cDiff.y); if (c<a.radius+b.radius) { return true; } return false; } and finally the reaction code public function react( a:MovieClip, b:MovieClip ):void { var nX1:Number=a.x; var nY1:Number=a.y; var nDistX1:Number=b.x-nX1; var nDistY1:Number=b.y-nY1; var nDistance1:Number=Math.sqrt(nDistX1*nDistX1+nDistY1*nDistY1); var nRadiusA:Number=a.width/2; var nRadiusB:Number=b.width/2; var nNormalX:Number; var nNormalY:Number; var nMidpointX:Number; var nMidpointY:Number; var nVector:Number; var nVelX:Number; var nVelY:Number; nNormalX=nDistX1/nDistance1; nNormalY=nDistY1/nDistance1; nMidpointX = ( nX1 + b.x )/2; nMidpointY = ( nY1 + b.y )/2; a.x=nMidpointX-nNormalX*nRadiusA; a.y=nMidpointY-nNormalY*nRadiusA; b.x=nMidpointX+nNormalX*nRadiusB; b.y=nMidpointY+nNormalY*nRadiusB; nVector = ( ( a.nSpeedX - b.nSpeedX ) * nNormalX )+ ( ( a.nSpeedY - b.nSpeedY ) * nNormalY ); nVelX=nVector*nNormalX; nVelY=nVector*nNormalY; a.nSpeedX-=nVelX; a.nSpeedY-=nVelY; b.nSpeedX+=nVelX; b.nSpeedY+=nVelY; } every frame each ball updates its position by nSpeedX*=0.97; nSpeedY*=0.97; this.x-=nSpeedX; this.y-=nSpeedY; please if anyone has the solution to this problem or any insight at all, I would be forever in your debt. many thanks I have experimented with increasing fps but that brought up more problems, I like the technique you describe but I cant seem to wrap my head around how to subdevide a frame into various timesteps

Billiards game rule in case the player did not touch any ball? I know that there is a lot of billiards games and rule,, but what I used to play is named I think the “fifteen ball” . And I want to ask about this specific case , let say that I mistakenly insert the white ball in one of the hall or I did not touch any ball with the white ball , then the opposite players will have a two shots ; so my question is when the opposite player play the two shots can he in his first hit the white ball without touching any ball and then in his second hit he touches the ball his wants, or he should touch at least one ball in his first hit or otherwise I will have a 2 shots ?? Thanks And have a nice game :)
Which is usual to call that game? "pool" or "billiards" in U.S.? I am Japanese and have a question. I used to play pool, the ball game using sticks, when I was in N.Y. long time ago.

Does the word "billiards" make sense to you? Is it unusual to call that game "billiard" in your country.

Is the game " Live billiards 2 " by terra game worth buying? I downloaded Live billiards 2 DEMO, the only games available on the demo version was 8ball and 3ball but my favorite game was snooker which is only availible on the full version. I was amazed by the realism of the game, its awesome. I may want to buy it to play the snooker but since snooker is different to 8ball I dont know if the snooker is as realistic in game play or no.cause snooker table is bigger than 8ball table and also the movement of the balls is different a little bit. If you have the game Live billiards 2 please tell me if the snooker is as good as 8ball or not. I will choose your answer as the best answer if yoiu send a screenshot to danielghofrani@yahoo.ca

Do you believe billiards is more fun than ping pong? The game of billiards is highly overrated. I would say that half the people that shoot pool are fat, lazy, stupid, drunks, whores, because pool is played in bars is why it gets so much attention. Before you even think about buying an expensive pool table you should look in the paper or Internet. There are probably 10 million pool tables sitting in homes right now gathering dust, because the game is boring. Buying a new table is not very smart. But before you buy a pool table, please go and play ping pong and you'll see how fun the game is and you'll see how boring billiards is.
Out of the billiard game variants, what's this called? There are many variants of Billiards, pool, snooker and the like, but I've seen it played where they place champagne glasses on the table (and I think you have to avoid hitting the champagne glasses) First of all, what's the name of that type of game with the champagne glasses on it. Secondly, the purpose of the glasses. (To make it more difficult, I assume.) Thirdly, can the glasses be arranged in any way you like? Or are there set patterns? What, no answers?

Why do people in the uk think that billiards is more important that top gear? Every year they change the schedule around so that they can broadcast a billiards game over top gear. I thought it was the biggest show in the UK, why don't they just change the billiards schedule instead? Also, if they are broadcasting it live, why don't thy just show top gear an hour early or a bit later?
