Hello Patrick. It's been a while. Good to see you're still on here. Hope you're doing well. Paul, yes, what Patrick wrote. Either one. Here's another image from overhead showing how the angle is drawn in the game. It is drawn in the game from contact points of the two balls. As for my old posts...

Hi Paul. Thanks for checking it out and for reporting back. That warning is a Windows SmartScreen false positive that can appear with new, unsigned indie builds distributed outside major app stores. If you click More info → Run anyway, the game should launch normally. If you’d rather not...

Hello, everyone! I used to be very active here, but it’s been several years since I’ve posted. Some of you may remember me by the “Run This” stop-shot puzzles I would post for members to solve. Over the years I’ve gone by Bluepepper, then CueAndMe, and now I’m Angle Detective — the name of an...

Game Updated to Version 1.1 with Eye Height Feature Hello again, everyone. I had to take a break to clear my mind after 3 straight years of working on the Angle Detective system, video game and training tools. But I'm refreshed and back to announce that the game has been updated to include...

Field of View adjustment Here are two examples of the Field of View adjustment I mentioned. It is a continuous slider, but here is a setting of 15° and the upper extreme of 135°. I don't expect anyone to come close to playing at 135°, but I thought it was fun to include the option. From image 1...

Thank you. And if the game does well enough there are some features I'd like to add in future updates. I hear ya. The angles are accurate, but when I designed the game I wanted to make sure that the 3D translation from the 2D screen of a computer, phone or tablet to the real world looked as...

Hu, thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to review the game here! Both really help me. I need to know how to best get across to everyone the strengths of the game as well as the Angle Detective system itself. After being in tunnel-vision mode for 3 years I probably have several...

Thank you! I'm certainly not known for completing things, so this is definitely an achievement for me. I hope you like enjoy it. Thank, Tommy! Yes, I was exhausted when I posted this thread, and I forgot to mention that currently it is only released for Windows PC. But it will be released for...

Angle Detective Video Game Released Today (PC Version) Hello again, everyone. I can finally reveal this secret I've been keeping for a year. It's the Angle Detective video training game for pool and snooker. Currently it is only for Windows PC, but Android is coming soon and then iOS. Perhaps...

Big Update: Abridged Version and Over 200 New Images Hey, everyone. For the past two weeks I’ve been working hard on making the system more digestible. New Abridged Version Rather than having a separate section of the site for an abridged version of the Angle Detective system, I decided to...

Yes, I'll be doing that soon when I have a chance. Thanks for the feedback, bbb!

In The Beginning If anyone is interested in seeing how the Angle Detective system began, I found the 11-year old thread where I first posted the square and labeling idea. People thought I was crazy back then. I hope people don't think I'm any crazier now. Equally crazy is fine though. Of...

Thanks, Scott! Hopefully I can convince you and the others otherwise once I start putting up videos. Lots of practical things to have in your back pocket. I agree it's a lot to absorb in full form, but there are several very simple methods that might help in certain situations. Thanks, Bob...

Interesting, Patrick. I promise I didn't see that! I haven't been back to the aiming forum in a while. But I recall from many years ago that there is a phenomenon where when one completely separate group from a species discovers something, a group of the same species on the other side of the...

Hey, Duckie. I do go a little bit into the transfer of energy from CB to OB at the end of the Application section. And I agree that it's probably impossible to see angles way down to minutes and seconds, but fortunately most of us don't have to play into Kaisa pockets. So there's at least some...
