Hi All,

What do you think of implementing the touching ball rule on Funkysnooker. Perhaps have a "Play Away" instruction come up when cue ball is in contact with potential object ball. In my opinion this would improve game play.

Thanks.

Unfortunately it won't happen as even if it looks like its touching, their is a pixel gap between both balls, plus nick doesn't have time to update which is a real shame

I remember nick saying about the touching ball rule that if he added it then due to the way the game is written, there is an infinitely small chance of 2 balls actually touching, basically it's impossible. What looks like touching ball generally isn't. So that rule will never come in.

There is no touching ball concept on either funkypool or funkysnooker. Although it might be interesting, technically it's not needed on a computer game. First the ball logic makes it almost an infinitesimal chance that balls may end up touching (there's no dirt or other minor irregularities on either the ball or the cloth which keeps the balls together).

Spinner:
Aside from the game logic Nick mentions above, there is also the problem that not everyone is using exactly the same graphics card, OS, driver, browser, and monitor set up exactly the same way.

Only in that scenario can it work, as what appears to be touching to one person, may not to another with a slightly bigger screen size or better resolution.
