Hi 3Cers,
I have a hobby project of many years to create an open source billiards simulator that you can use in a web browser.
I reference several great papers by Han, Mathavan, Alciatore and Stronge for physics on github - try it here .
I posted here today because I recently added a beginners feature that still allows you to score a point even if you just miss the ball in three cushion.
A successful point scores 3. A near miss scores 2 or 1 depending on how close the cue ball passes the target, see an example here
What surprised me was that even as a regular player I enjoyed it.
Near misses feel rewarding rather than frustrating, and beginners can put together short runs more easily.
I'm curious whether features like this could help make three-cushion more approachable for new players while still encouraging proper position play and shot planning.
It's free to use, requires no registration, and works on both desktop and mobile browsers.
Happy to hear feedback from fellow three-cushion players.
