Billiards is a free cue sports simulator game for Linux systems. It aims for physical accuracy and simplicity and should hopefully be useful for practising billiards on your own and against your friends when a real pool table is not available. Currently both a pool table and a billiards table (that is with and without pockets) are implemented allowing you to play eightball, nineball and carom billiards games.
What is new in this release:
- Billiards now starts via its own GUI, although using a separate browser is still possible.
- This GUI supports saving and replaying of shots and whole games as well as an experimentation mode for those with research in mind.
- A couple of bugs causing the simulation to hog the CPU and freeze the game have also been fixed and it should be faster now.
- Lastly, Debian and Ubuntu users can now use the supplied packages instead of compiling from source.
What is new in version 0.3:
- Billiards has been repackaged as a Techne module.
- The manual has been updated to reflect changes since version 0.1, an overhead view mode which you can toggle via the middle mouse button has been added, and a few bugs have been fixed.
What is new in version 0.2.1:
- A few fixes were made to make Billiards compatible with ODE 0.10.1 and resolve some issues with the initial setup of the balls.
Requirements:
- OpenGL
- OpenAL
- Lua
- ODE
- libpng
- FreeType2
