POOL 8

Flash version of the American billiards game Pool 8 (Pool 8), in a graphic design of average quality, but quite acceptable physics of impact and rebound. The rules are really original (i.e. real). Try to beat the computer, which will be your opponent in these games, and score all the balls of the selected type. If you are familiar with the rules of the pool, then you understand what this is all about. If not, we'll explain.

The rules of the American pool are as follows. The first pool ball scored by a player determines the type of next balls that the player can score. There are 2 types in total: whole (monotonously filled in with one color) and striped (with a stripe of a color other than the ball itself). The opponent's ball selection is determined automatically. Thus, if you score the very first ball and it is striped, then later in this game you try to score all the striped ones, and your opponent will hunt for the whole ones, and vice versa.

An important point about the black ball, because it is in a special position. It can only be scored after you have rolled ALL your colored balls. The opponent has symmetrical rights about black. Note that if you put black BEFORE all your balls are stuffed into the pockets, then you are automatically awarded a loss. An accidental hit of black in the pocket is also treated as a defeat of the one whose shot was made.

White. Everything is simple here. This is a cue ball and the whole game is done only by it. In other words, your cue should always hit white and no other! It should be noted that if a white ball enters the pocket during your turn for any reason, regardless of whether the colored ball was scored or not, then your opponent gets the opportunity to make a free shot, that is, put the white ball wherever he wants.
