FooBillard is a free OpenGL-billard game for Linux with realistic physics, AI-player and many gametypes like pool carambol or snooker. Why foo? Well, actually I had this logo (F.B.-Florian Berger) and then foo sounds a bit like pool (Somehow I wasn't quite attracted by the name FoolBillard)
The main physics is quite mature but not yet perfect. If you are a billard-pro and you're missing some physics, please tell me. Cause I've implemented it like I think it should work, which might differ from reality.
Here are some key features of "FooBillard":
Wood paneled table with gold covers and gold diamonds
reflections on balls
shadow pixmaps
detail switching of balls according to distance
zoom in/out - hold right mousebutton
FOV +/- - hold right mousebutton + CTRL
rotate - hold left mousebutton
animated queue
8ball, 9ball, snooker, carambol
simple AI-Player
strength adjustment
eccentic hit adjustment (button2-Shift)
red/green 3D stereo view !!!
sound
network play
free view mode.
What's New:
polygon offset for reflections due to z-fighting on some hardware (thx to Michel D‰nzer)
bugfix: str_contains didnt check for termination of 1st string (thx to Frank Gevaerts)
bugfix: fullscreen mode wasn't saved in config file.
AI-player skill adjustible in menu
gamemodes match/training
training mode: free placement and cueball selection
training mode: tab key to switch cueball
some VRPool hold-key-funcs implemented (work correctly in SDL only)
s .... mouse shot
b .... cue butt up/down
e .... english
m .... place cue ball.
