The animation is different, please let me know if you have any problems.

Went on it straight away and 1st shot i couldn't see balls moving only just where they finished.

Worked fine after re-opening it.

Great start - guess it doesn't fix that problem then.

Thanks for taking a look.

its fine for me moons

It looks familiar. Whats the reason behind this?

yeah it looks same as the update to me

I think that is the reason

I think it's Nick getting us all used to ghost cursor.

well it will do i can practice and play at the same time

Alot of lag on each shot, don't no why I was playing snookerand this and wouldnt let me take a shot correctly

Given it a good go NIck trying various things at random and didn't spot any problems (other than me forgetting that you can't change the cursor and the cloth and it locking up lol). But I guess it is one of those cases where you can't prove that an intermittent problem is fixed only if it hasn't by getting a fault.

Have had a go on Regular and arcade both seem fine on my machine

Thanks for the feedback.

Please can you now try this:
http://www.poolgame.co.uk/snookerdemo/2/funkysnookerdemolaunch.html

It tries to render the game at 60 frames per second.

If you have problems (jittery, less smooth) please open your Java console and copy the last lines of output to me (via a private message).

That demo is perfect! no lagging or jittery movement.

It seems like the balls roll on forever.

Btw whats the fps on the actual game?

35 FPS. Can you send me your console log damee?

60 FPS is great. Love it! One question...

No jittery movements, but seems to run very fast for me.


Don't know how to send you console log

If someone tells me I'll send it

Sorry, I thought I posted the instructions - right click the Java icon (white square with small cup) at the system tray, click open console. Just copy as much of that that fits in a message.

You should see loads of lines in the form:

Nick, that demo is excellent! It runs so smooth, I don't see any real problem with the balls moving quickly. Gives the impression of playing on the Crucible baize
