1. Place the white ball
When you have ball in hand, drag the white cue ball to an open spot and tap Place ball. On the break, keep it behind the white line. Shooting stays locked until you place it.
2. Tap your target ball
Tap or click the ball you want to hit first. Its ring and number confirm the selection. Tap it again, or tap Clear target, to choose another. Selection does not pocket the ball or aim for you.
3. Aim, then fine aim
Drag on any clear part of the felt to rotate the cue and aim line. Aim makes normal adjustments. Tap Fine aim for slower, smaller adjustments without changing power or spin. In Shot options, lower sensitivity for finer movement.
4. Pull to choose power
Drag the cue control downward. A longer pull means a harder hit. The percentage shows your power. Release to shoot by default. Start softly for short shots; use a firm pull for a break. An interrupted touch cancels the shot.
Normal, follow, draw and stun
Normal uses the centre of the white ball with no added spin. In Shot options, move the red tip up for follow (forward roll), down for draw (backspin), or left/right for side spin. Stun means little forward or backward roll at impact: a square hit can stop the cue ball, while a cut sends it sideways. Power and travel distance affect the outcome, so the At contact label can differ from your tip setting.
Aim colours and zoom
The line from the white ball shows the cue path. Green suggests a legal, comfortable contact; amber means a thin cut; muted red means no legal ball is on that path. These are guides, not a promise of a pot. Zoom is optional: switch Zoom off at any time to see the full table.
Want a separate Shoot button?
Open Shot options and enable Shoot button. Pull and release to set power, then tap Shoot to play it. This gives you one last check before the stroke. On a keyboard, arrows choose power; Enter shoots by default, or loads the separate Shoot button when enabled.
Rules at a glance
In 8-ball, clear your assigned solids or stripes, then select the 8 last. On an open table, pocket a legal ball to establish suits. In 9-ball, contact the lowest remaining number first; legally potting the 9 wins. Pocketing the white ball is a scratch and gives your opponent ball in hand. Watch the result line after each shot.
