The Billiards Games Library

[Mulambo]

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!

Thank you for your time in creating this website. I'm looking forward to new games and the opportunity learning ways to use some of the specialized ball sets that I have.

Thanks! I hope I can teach myself mobile web design fast enough, to give all my visitors a pleasant experience. So far iPads seem to be not that good with displaying it well. Especially the menu keeping focus and staying open is very annoying, and I try to fix it next week

I wish you a lot of fun with the games I found
