About Pool on Suvi
This page opens straight into a frame of pool against the computer. It's UK-style eight-ball: seven reds, seven yellows and the black. Break from behind the line, pot a ball to claim a colour, clear your seven and then pot the black to win. Easy pots the simple ones and misses plenty; Medium plays a fair frame; Hard aims tightly and uses follow and draw to leave itself the next shot. Drag on the table to aim, nudge the fine-aim strip for the last fraction of a degree, and pull the power bar down to shoot. A hint shows the shot the Hard computer would play, your record at each level is kept on this device, and a frame left half-way is waiting when you come back. Want a person instead? Two can share one phone, or send a friend a link.
How to play
- Press anywhere on the table and drag: the cue aims from the white towards your finger. A guide shows the ball you'll hit and where it will go.
- For the last fraction of a degree, drag the Fine strip beside the table up or down.
- Pull the power bar down and let go to shoot. The further you pull, the harder the shot; slide back up to cancel.
- Pot a ball after the break to claim its colour, keep going while you pot yours, then pot the black to win.
- Hit the wrong ball first, hit nothing or pot the white, and your opponent gets the white anywhere on the table.
Controls
On a phone or tablet: Drag on the table to aim, drag the Fine strip to fine-tune, then pull the power bar down and let go. Tap the cue ball button for follow or draw. With the white in hand, drag it where you want it.
On a desktop: Point at the table to aim and click to lock it, then pull the power bar down with the mouse. Or use the keys: left and right to aim (Shift for bigger steps), up and down for power, S for spin and Space to shoot. H asks for a hint.
Tips
- The yellow line shows where the object ball will go. Line it up with the pocket's middle, then use the Fine strip.
- Pace matters: a soft pot leaves the white near the middle of the table, a hard one sends it round the cushions.
- With no spin, a full hit stops the white dead. Follow runs on after the ball, draw pulls the white back towards you.
- Ball in hand? Put the white straight behind an easy pot, a little way back.
- Nothing on? Play a soft shot that just touches one of yours. Missing your colour is a foul.
Questions
- What rules does this use?
- UK-style eight-ball, kept simple: the table is open after the break, the first ball potted after it decides the colours, a foul gives your opponent the white anywhere on the table, and potting the black wins once your colour is cleared.
- What happens if the black goes in early?
- You lose the frame. The one exception is the break: a black potted on the break goes back on its spot and play carries on.
- How good is the computer?
- Easy pots the easy ones and misses plenty. Medium plays a fair frame. Hard aims tightly and plays for position with follow and draw. All three miss like people do, so every frame is different.
- Can two people play on one phone?
- Yes. Choose Two players and pass the phone over when the turn changes. Each panel shows that player's colour and how many balls they have left.
- Can I play a friend online?
- Yes: choose With a friend and send the link. You each shoot on your own phone and see every shot roll on both.
- Is it free?
- Yes, every game, with no account and nothing to download.
