1. 360° Stance & Aiming: Touch or click and drag anywhere on the table to walk 360° around the cue ball (indicated by the 👣 Stance marker) and align your laser sight. Need help finding a shot? Tap 🎯 AUTO-AIM (BEST SHOT) at the bottom!
2. Pull the Cue Stick Back to Shoot: Once aimed, grab the glowing handle on the Cue Stick and pull it backward (or drag the Power Slider on the right) to set your power from 0% to 100%. Release to strike! (Bring the stick back below 6% to cancel your shot).
3. The Break Shot: The opening shot is taken from behind the left-side BREAK ZONE (Kitchen) line. You can drag and place the white cue ball anywhere inside the Break Zone before breaking.
4. Open Table & Suit Assignment (Solids vs. Stripes): The table starts OPEN. After the break, the first player to legally pot a Solid (Balls 1–7) or a Stripe (Balls 9–15) claims that suit for the rest of the match. When Coach Mode is ON, all legal target balls are highlighted with a 🟢 GREEN RING.
5. Official Fouls & Ball-in-Hand:
• Scratch: Potting the white Cue Ball into any pocket.
• Wrong Ball First: Striking the opponent's ball or the 8-Ball first (before clearing your group).
• No Cushion After Contact: Failing to pot a ball AND failing to drive any ball to a rail cushion after impact.
👉 Any foul awards the opponent ✋ BALL-IN-HAND (they may drag and place the white cue ball anywhere on the table!).
6. Potting the 8-Ball (Win / Loss): Once all 7 of your group balls are pocketed, legally pot the Black 8-Ball to claim VICTORY! Warning: Potting the 8-Ball early or scratching while potting the 8-Ball results in an instant loss.
