My suggestion is to add a few more buttons such as..

win/lose -
How much rank will i lose against this player

Status -
all your status will pop up (im lazy)

Counter -
How many snookers do i need to catch up

and

option to drag the dot on the ball to get maximum spin

Can we do anything about the right click button?
some times when im taking a shot.. as i push up i click the right button on the mouse and mess up


look this way >

look's like a great idea jay !

some good suggestions...


I'm not sure about the rank idea... half the fun is the result!

As for the 'status' if you mean your rank etc, then just click on your own name and it will open your profile in a new window.

The dragging spin... It does only take a few clicks to get the maximum spin, but I see what you mean.

The right click... I'm pretty sure you can use either mouse button to take a shot, maybe it is different for various browsers...

Nice designing as well!!!
Nice idea.

I agree with the "how many snookers needed" and "right clicking" when you end up taking a completely different shot than intended.

I know what you mean by the dragging the spin, but it only takes a matter of seconds to get your desired spin. And for the status idea, its just normal of you to be lazy

Also, not an amazing idea but how about putting your average amount of wins onto your profile? Just a suggestion

Snookers required is based on foul points gained, seeing as one can get either 4,5,6 or 7 points for a foul i dont see how this works, all that needs is a points left on the table counter..

yup good iseas these and ncley drawn out to - clever boy

Some people has trouble with this, thats why I suggested it.

its the same with tournaments, as they click the link nothing comes up.
2good got a problem like this

About the snookers required, I think it's safe to count 4 points as long as there are at least 4 balls on the table.

The fact is that when you try to snooker a player, you try to lead him to foul on his target ball, which is always a red OR the smallest color on the table (if there are no red left). This tactical view makes it unlikely to get 5+ points when the opponent tries to hit a red, and that's why required snookers are always counted with 4 points by snooker.

Of course the opponent could accidentally hit the black while aiming to a targeted red, but it's usually not the goal of the person trying to snooker the other one - he tries to make him miss the red, nothing more.

So in my opinion, if this was to be implemented, a simple "x snookers needed" text would be enough, counting 4 points by snooker (or 5-6-7 points if there are respectively 3-2-1 balls left on the table).

Well that sorted then,thanks for explaining it!

I still disagree, the fact that you can score 4-7 points for a foul makes this stat irrelevant, people could require snookers and the other player hits a blue, pink or blak and they're not in a snooker...rare but happens..

All you need is a points remaining stat, its implemented in real life as its teh most simple and effective idea around, no need to over engineer a simple idea!
