Jonny I don't know what you mean - you should check out the Straight Pool rules - they're pretty much correct. Also, Cheese Cake, the opponents don't change their level as you do better or worse - it most have been a coincident.
Hoodlem - whatever!
I'm pretty sure the rules are fine - I'm using British rules - that could be the problem! Anyways, we all love a wise fish - so I don't think that's the problem.
@Kantur, You can turn off the music and keep the background sound playing. You simply turn the background music right down - it'll mute itself once it's low enough. The BGM is the left channel when you hover your mouse over the speaker.
The right channel is of course the game sounds. The game also saves your sound settings, so when you play next time the BGM won't be heard - that's how I prefer to play it too.
I'll think about the who breaks first issue - I could just make it random on the first break. I didn't do this as I prefer breaking and almost always pot a ball from the break - so I think it's an advantage to break first.
@taylor84, you seem to have confused Straight Pool and 8-Ball pool - you can find the rules above.
Also, it always lets you take a shot when it's your turn - you have to wait when it's the computer's turn or when the balls are still moving... Thanks for your comment.
Hi, I've changed the AI Players a little again. Pool Shark Charlie is still difficult but not as impossible as before. He'll make a few more mistakes, but is still capable of make quite high breaks. I beat him in a game of Straight Pool to 150 - which was pretty much impossible before. So, let me know what you think after you've played them a few times as it's difficult to get the skill level right. Cheers
This is a really addictive game that has had a full release in shops. It's been around for ages- especially in Japan. So I can't help but say that YOU STOLE THIS GAME. You didn't even bother to upload a nice thumb.
Hehe, all the players are beatable, but Pool Shark Charlie is well hard in Straight Pool mode. I like the hard players as they are a challenge, it would get a bit boring if you won all the time. Anyway, I'm working on a new CPU players AI system - I'll update it sometime soon, then you can let me know what you think again - cheers
@Kyrator, this game isn't stolen - and why would I steel a rubbishy beta game? You can check the game at Whirled.com, the host site - you'll find that it's made by the same NipponMonkey here on Kong too. @blizzard1269, yeah it is kinda stupid, but it's alright for a while - especially if you're winning with a Laser Gun...
I've added a bit of code that should stop the game crashing every now and then when the computer is thinking. So, let me know if it crashes on you again - cheers.
The buttons are very annoying - sometimes you're clicking the text then you're clicking only the baseball next to the text - very frustrating - why not have the text and the baseball as one button? A little hard for me too, but nice graphics.
@Dragonlight, either you're still playing a cached version of the game or you might have a problem with your speakers! The sound seems to be fine with me. One thing you might like to check is if your LEFT and RIGHT speaker channels are working. When you pot/hit a ball on the left side of the table the sound is played through the left speaker and vice versa with the right. Also, if you hit the ball harder or the ball goes into the pocket with more force then you'll hear a louder hit or rattle in the pocket. If you still get the problem, I suggest trying head phones to see if you notice a difference between your computer speakers and the headphone sound.
About the re-rack problem - I made a small change and played to 150 in Straight Pool 3-times and I didn't get a re-rack error once! But, I'll look into it again...
@Dragonlight, the sound bug should be fixed now. I looked into possible reasons for the break not re-racking in Straight Pool and fixed a possible cause. It's yet to happen to me, so let me know if it happens again - cheers.
@092767, I haven't had that foul problem on the break before. I've just been trying to recreate the bug but I haven't been able to. Anyone else noticed it? Cheers - Oh thanks for 5/5 :)
JDGA, for that shot you have to add back or top spin to avoid the collision - all the challenges are possible - and thanks for the 5/5! Also, STABONES - the pints you drink are basically experience points, the more you drink the more computer players you unlock for single matches. You constantly drink some beer as you play and win matches.
