Did you purposely mean to make the pockets tighter Nick?


One corner jaw is a pixel smaller.

It looks like you have made the spots and baulk line / D lighter too.... it's much kinder on the eyes with the old colours though


Yes, I toned them down. Some of the opacity on the images seemed to be a bit high (I think I made a mistake when converting the images).

I think it's pretty close to perfect now, although the jaw of the middle pocket can look a bit aliased (bumpy) at certain sizes.

thats 1 thing i enjoyed the rocket one.

will look at tables shortly.

1 idea i would like in place however...

Is it possible to "lock" guests into the room, what i mean is they can leave BUT it won't disrupt your gameplay by cue going in a random direction because it will act like the guest is still there but isn't?

Great update Nick ... especially the "rocket ball" - that must have been a mother of a bug to track down, congratulations

The tables are in superior image quality, but as they are partially constructed as the game loads (in milliseconds) they allow the total game size to be significantly reduced (425kb to 346kb, about 20% smaller)


Now game client size is down to 319kb, 25% smaller!

Thanks, it was a problem with the code related to spin, which allowed more energy at the end of the collision.

I've only said should be resolved.

Who knows, my attempt to kill it may not have worked...

1st shot I had after the original tables update = rocket balls.

I think karlos should do a tribute song just for rocketballs.

Like a parody of 'rocketman'

Hi nick, lovely updates (and don't ever try fixing rocket balls again!!).

One thing I noticed, I left a ball close to the bottom left pocket and about a quarter of it was overlapping with the lower edge of that pocket (bottom left of the screen). I tested the other corners and didn't see the same thing there. I dont mind this much, just thought I would share it
