Definitely!
You can use the trial and error method to escape from snookers. Escaping from the trickiest situation should be done in 2 or 3, maybe 4 attempts.

Hello Rstarrett, This is the shot you mentioned, isn't it? rstarrett-black-miss.png You can load and replay it with the following chat command: /replay sqrep://s/ipivSw.1.11 As the screenshot shows, the error margins are wide and this is because the white ball is not close to the black ball and, whi...

Re: Top spin tutorial not working.
The cue-ball must not hit any cushions to complete that exercise.
The no-cushion check was added to make sure the player uses the correct power. Try the suggested Wizardry value.

Re: Impossible pot
Another "impossible" pot into the top left corner: the red is on the cushion, the white is at the middle pocket. The potting angle is greater than 90 degrees, yet one can pot the red into the corner pocket. Line up the shot so that the aiming just misses the red ball, the white will hit the cushion ...

Re: why is chatting is cleared?
That sounds like a valid point and we have noted it. Currently, a new connection simply starts with an empty chat history because the client cannot know what happened since the the disconnection. Chat traffic is live, the server does not maintain it. Another point is that if a user is not in the lob...

Re: Cue Ball clicking is cumbersome.
Good idea but is has its downside, too: - In some cases the player wants to check the path of some object balls or possible plants, angles, which need the focus on balls other than the cue ball. - The initial aim direction would be uncomfortable with a default vertical/horizontal direction. Currentl...

Re: Undo not working in new practice drills.
Undo is intentionally disabled for special lineups because they have their own leaderboard and record:
- Around The Black (ATB) and
- Tough Table Challenge (TTC)
Crazy Cannons is not special in this sense, undo should be working there.

Re: Conceding when the game is easily winnable
Fully agreed. Coming back and winning from the snookers required stage is very satisfying. It may upset some opponents but is a vital part of the game. "It's never over until it's really over" as someone, maybe Steve Davis said many years ago and it is still as true as ever. BTW, my default is the -...

Impossible pot
Well, not impossible but it takes a strange approach. The path of the red is blocked by the black ball, yet one can pot the red into that pocket by double or multiple touches by the white. With the speed and spin shown, the pack of reds is split and a winning break is on started with pink as the fir...

Re: Anywhere in the `D`?
Good idea! However, the official rules cover that situation very thoroughly. When the cue ball is pocketed (or jumps off the table in real snooker), a free ball is called by the referee if and only if all the balls that are on are snookered from all positions from within the "D". That is, if you can...

That looks weird, almost like one of Demon's tricks.
Was it a one time bug or does it happen from time to time?
If it happens again, please try to identify any unusual events before the bug, it would help us a lot to fix it.

Sorry for the bad experience. Although the sound is fine for most of the users, this issue pops up from time to time at some of them so it's time to find a proper solution. Perhaps by replacing the current sound library.

Hi ALB,
That's the point of the shot timer! Set it to 30 or 60 seconds before starting a game or inviting someone. You can also set this timer as default in the preferences (top right corner in the lobby). That way the timer will be auto-set for you whenever you go to an empty table.
