Cue Ball clicking is cumbersome.

Why do we need to click Cue Ball for every shot.

Moving the mouse around should be enough to set the aim line on the target ball.
Once the target ball is potted, cue ball by default should be selected and aim line be in one particular direction (like vertical or horizontal)

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. Currently, the first tiny move of the mouse after clicking the cue ball determines the initial direction and then only a small adjustment is needed, which minimizes the required mouse activity.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. Keep such ideas coming, even the wildest ones can have value which can be built into the game or they can generate other splendid ideas.

Sorry for the late answer.
