Fellow cue sport enthusiasts!
Over the last couple of years, I collected a big amount of rules for various billiards related games. First I started to print them in pages, but as they grew more and more, this was getting way too much to sort and manage properly. So I started to make a digital collection of the rules I found. Over time, the idea grew on me, to share my gathered knowledge with the community which started my interest in these games. So I started to make a website…
This week my library went online, and I may proudly present it here!
The Billiard Games Library
First things first: this website was only developed on and for desktop computers so far. As this is the only source I could test it without going online. And as I may have some knowledge in web development, but barely any mobile web development, like touch device support, styling for different screen sizes, … I intent to make it better over time though. And if anybody is willing to help, I would be more then glad, because my knowledge of CSS is a bit small to be honest
Secondly, as this subforum is intended for the 300 ways book, I want to thank the author of it. I started collecting rules before I knew the book existed, but when I found references to it online, it sparked a huge drive in me and my collecting grew way more serious. Even though I do not have a copy myself, as they are quite hard to find in Europe, I still got a lot of names for games which helped me a lot in finding new sources!
Thanks for your time, critique, suggestions, and I am looking forward to any further discussion about my research project!
