Billiards Lobby — free online pool, snooker and carom A free multiplayer lobby for an open source billiards game built on a real physics engine — three-cushion carom, 9-ball, 8-ball and snooker, played against opponents around the world on desktop or mobile. The live player list and challenges need JavaScript, so they are not available in this view. The games themselves run entirely in the browser with nothing to download, install or sign up for.

Thanks for playing at tailuge/billiards. Stick around and challenge online for a free game or two.

Play free online billiards, pool, snooker and carom in a realistic 3D browser simulator. Play snooker, 9-ball, 8-ball, three-cushion billiards and Korean four-ball (sagu) with realistic ball physics, spin, collisions and cushion behaviour. Practice solo, play against computer opponents, play two players on one device, or play live online multiplayer. Runs directly in your browser with no download or installation required.Free and open source, built with TypeScript, Three.js and WebGL. The physics engine is designed to reproduce real billiard-ball and cushion behaviour, including spin and collision throw. Guides are also available in eight other languages.

About

About this project What the simulator is, the rule sets it plays and the published physics behind the shot, plus where to read and contribute to the code.
Free 9-ball pool Nine-ball in the browser: rotation rules, practice mode and shareable replay links, with no download or sign-up.
Free 8-ball pool Solids and stripes on the same table, with AI bots, free multiplayer and a Hi-Res rendering mode.
Free online snooker Full-size 12-foot snooker and shorter 6-foot games, with realistic cushion physics and free online play.
Three-cushion physics Inspect and re-tune the ball and cushion constants yourself, and plot the shot lines that result.
Open source on GitHub TypeScript and Three.js source under the GNU General Public License, with contributions welcome.

Play

Free online snooker Play snooker online for free, a nice open source alternative to ShootersPool, Flash Snooker and RealSnooker.Club. Aim for the maximum 147 break!
Free 9-ball practice & trick shots Drag balls to build your own layouts, set up trick shots, pick a drill preset, then shoot — free 9-ball practice with shareable replay links in the browser, no download or sign-up.
Play against AI bots Challenge computer AI opponents online: play 9-ball and three-cushion against TheFarJaw or ClawBreak directly in your browser.
Snooker training course A graded snooker course with automatic scoring, so break building and pot accuracy can be measured — a free alternative to paid coaching apps and academy subscriptions.
Three-cushion exam An automatic-marked three-cushion exam: cue-ball control, the five-and-half and diamond systems, and Korean patterns like 뒤돌리기 and 옆돌리기.
Aiming, spin, and cue guide How cue control and aiming work: fine versus coarse aim, shot power, topspin, backspin, sidespin (English), and massé angle shots.

Read

Why most pool games feel wrong Why cushion behaviour and spin decide whether a pool game feels real, and where most browser billiards fake it.
Clearing the line-up A line-up drill finally cleared: cue-ball control, shot selection and patience, with the layout linked so you can replay it.
Implementing Mathavan physics How the Mathavan (2010) paper became a working numerical model — restitution, energy loss and the code behind the bounce.
High run, high break, clearances Achieve breaks you can only dream of in real life.

Mathavan cushion model & ball throw Interactive graphs from the Mathavan high-speed-imaging study of real snooker ball-cushion impacts, plus Alciatore cut-induced ball-on-ball friction and throw effect.
Three-cushion diamond system The diamond system with shot lines drawn out: cue-ball paths for two and three cushions — free, where other sites sell diamond-system books and calculators.
