ok it think i wud be a gud idea on the practise table if also when you re-rack you can have a colours only on there spots. put the white ball where u choose for the first shot, and try pot the colours in order from yellow to black. and if u miss then the colours are re-racked and u start from scratch

i think this wud be good to improve potting the colours in the sequence in game situations. let me know what u think guys (btw i dunno if this has already been suggested)

yes nath i think that this will be a good idea especially for the newbies (not that im 1)

I find it a good idea but i think its only good for newbies and players with a low ranking

It's trivial to add - so I'll add a colour only layout to next patch. The automatic restart on miss option wont occur though - it'll be just a different start layout with white ball in D.

Why the white ball in D?

Because there currently isn't capability to place the white ball anywhere.

This is introduced now.

EDIT: Ooops, it currently has invalid practice logic for this - the balls will be replaced.

nick i have a problem once you pot the yellow it is respotted and it says you need to hit red first.

Screenshot:

Indeed, see the post above. Teach me to add practice game logic when tired!

should drink more coffee nick

Just a quick addition to the above - if you actually pot the yellow on the first shot it doesn't respot the yellow - but all subsequent ones are as described above. As you are rewriting this area, it probably doesn't make any difference but thought I had better mention it just in case.

after the potting the yellow it shud stay down and the next one etc. and why dus it sey shooting at red all the time?

If you read the above posts you will see! but as for now doesnt take much to carry on with the green does it ?

This should be fixed now.

whilst on this topic can we have a practice on carom which allows us to break as yellow?

yeah it would be good to choose either white or yellow to practice with and it not changing all the time so you can just practice with 1 colour
