My most recent goof. Split the reds lovely should have been all over but the ricochet off the pack and then the perfect glance of the yellow to go in off well sometimes you have days like that...

Switching lobbies

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue but recently (different days) I had trouble going to the Tournament lobby from the main lobby. It just sat there as if I hadn't clicked on anything, and I stayed in the main lobby. The only way I could get to the Tournament lobby was to close the game then ...

Re: Demon Cue

Yep don't know what I was thinking there it's miles out 150 reds 80 reds to make the 20 yellows (4 reds each) 32 reds to make the 2 greens (8 yellows @ 4 reds per yellow) 128 reds to make the 2 browns (8 greens @ 16 reds per green) 256 reds to make the 1 blue (4 browns @ 64 reds per brown) 646 Total...

Re: Demon Cue

Going with 582 first calculation
150 reds
80 reds to make the 20 yellows
32 reds to make the 2 greens
64 reds to make the 2 browns
256 reds to make the 1 blue

582 looks about right?

Re: Demon Cue

Clearly, you're not after the 150 as stated in the price!! Not to mention how many red cue parts you have to bribe the Demon with for him to lose before you buy it?

Re: Screen going black and computer unresponsive.

Hey mate thanks for the good description and the fact it only happens in this game. That has answered a few questions from the start so I suspect it will be more of a program that clashes with this one (security set too high kind of a thing). With 16gb of ram I doubt it is an out of memory issue. Ar...

Re: Maximum Break Question

Great summay, Wizard! One small note I'd like to add is that the foul by the opponent resulting in the free ball can happen anytime before a red is potted, it doesn't need to happen on the break-off shot. Fair call I did miss that point about when the foul could be made I must have been thinking ab...

Maximum Break Question

Just saw a comment in the game chat questioning a 150+ break. To part quote "not possible...maximum is a 147" Just to clarify here's the scenario where with some incredible luck and a lot of skill it is actually possible to make a 155 break. 1. Opponent breaks and fouls leaving all 15 reds still on ...

Re: Play again

Hi sacko7 The short answer is they can make you play again as many times as they like until you need snookers. Each shot would be a "foul and a miss" until the point where you need snookers then a miss cannot be called. In the real game the referee will decide whether or not to call a "miss" based o...

Re: Rewarded for a foul shot

Okay I understand your position and trust me I have searched far and wide for scenarios where the red might come back up. The only one I can find is where a "foul and a miss" is called and the opponent requests the balls be replaced (as they were before the shot). This would include any red that has...

Re: Rewarded for a foul shot

Ok so your initial post talks about being rewarded for making a foul shot Now you are suggesting you should be rewarded for playing badly and requiring a snooker but your opponent shouldn't because he played better so he doesn't need one? I think given the rarity of this scenario happening in the fi...

Re: Rewarded for a foul shot

Okay I'm enjoying this "potential rule change" scenario following it to the bitter end. So now you've gone from 34 behind to 30 behind (with a potential 35 left on) and it's your shot but the white is anywhere in the D and the red is on the cush behind the black (if it's on it's spot) or behind anyt...

Re: Rewarded for a foul shot

One last shot at this just to be clear you are suggesting change the rules of snooker (not just this game) so that an "illegally" potted red comes back up on the table? My point was that this scenario can happen any time in the game so (for example) your opponent breaks, pots a red but the white goe...

Re: Chromebook

As a computer tech I would only say that a Chromebook is similar to an iPhone where they tie you in to using their stuff and can be limiting on some things. No reason the game shouldn't work especially if you have new hardware but all I can suggest is you read this before making your decision as it ...

Re: Rewarded for a foul shot

Lengthy explanation Wizard, but you seem to have missed my point completely. :? Wouldn't say I missed your point. My point is whenever that happens last red or not you are 4 points closer to your opponents score. I doubt many players would deliberately go in off the last red to get what you perceiv...

Re: pro v club

Great that you are enjoying the game mate. I can't give a professional opinion but just from experience you need to be a little more accurate in Pro the pockets are less forgiving than in club
