What is Billiard vs Computer
Take a seat at the table and face a worthy opponent in a game of skill, strategy, and precision. It's just you, the balls, and the satisfying thud of a well-struck shot.
How to Play
Use your mouse to aim by moving the cursor and drag back to control the power of your shot. Keep an eye on the cue ball's spin and position to set up your next move.
Tips for Playing
- Always look for the easiest ball to pot first, but also think about where the cue ball will land for your next shot.
- Master the art of topspin to follow the cue ball forward and bottom spin to draw it back into better position.
- Don't always go for the spectacular shot; sometimes playing safe and leaving your opponent a tough table is smarter.
- Watch how the AI plays and learn from its approach to angles and pace.
- Keep your cue action smooth and controlled—power isn't everything, accuracy is key.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control the power of my shot?
Drag the mouse backward from the cue ball to set your power, then release to shoot. The farther you drag, the harder you hit.

Potting the cue ball is a foul. Your opponent gets ball-in-hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot.

No, this game is designed for single-player play against the computer AI.
What is the goal of the game?
The goal is to legally pot all of your assigned balls (either solids or stripes) and then finish by potting the 8-ball.
How do I add spin to the cue ball?
Before taking your shot, you can adjust the spin by clicking on the cue ball or using the spin controls to add topspin, backspin, or sidespin.
What happens if I pot the 8-ball early?
If you pot the 8-ball before clearing your group of balls, you lose the game immediately.
