Update: This thread in this little corner of Forum is for Pool apps or WIP. You are Welcome to share code and help others build their ideal Pool Game. I am big fan of Pool, played for years and it's not as fun playing alone. b = b + others

Pool 3.1 fixes
Code: (Select All)
Option _Explicit
_Title "Pool 3.1 fixes" ' b+ restart 2021-05-17
'QB64 version 2017 1106/82 (the day before they switched to version 1.2)
'translated from:
' pool table.bas SmallBASIC 0.12.9 (B+=MGA) 2017-09-06
' 2021-05-17 fix stuff start with Mouse constantly poll mouse and update shared mouse variables
' add ball collision code most recently worked out.
' Thanks to OldMoses for link to collision paper with vectors.
' https://www.vobarian.com/collisions/2dcollisions2.pdf
' The steps in the collision code follow directly from this paper
' bak 2021-05-18 version
' 2021-05-21 fix err with finding collisions
' 2021-05-22 it's not overlap that causes the hang, before drawing balls I inserted code to pull balls overlapping apart.
' The damn thing still hangs plus now get no ball action! and why does that happen?
' (Got to wait until balls stop moving before start pulling them apart, works good now!)
' 2021-05-23 Found the hang problem!!! fixed but left balls overlapping, fixed also!
' 2021-05-23 bak Pool 2 no overlap 2021-05-23
' 2021-05-23 Pool 3 make ball images bak 2021-05-23 added for uniform edges
' 2021-05-25 fix flicker, extend aiming line so can move cue ball angle and speed setting up or down that line
' for speed and not loose the precise angle needed at kiss point.
' 2021-05-25 gutted old aim cue ball and went back to circle at end of line and added a left and right arrow
' power setting, default at medium gets you across table, max power bust rack up nice!
' See power bar below the table orange line on white background. Press spacebar to shoot now.
