About:
Billiard Game Template for Unity is an event-based billiard physics engine in which differential equations of motion are solved exactly, thus creating a simulation that conforms to reality. This method is much faster than conventional solvers used in physics engines as it does not have an explicit simulation step but rather a search is performed for the next event(state change) when the differential equation to be solved is updated. Differential equations are solved analytically so precision only depends on the model!

Features:

• Event-Based Physics Engine
• Finite State Machine Gameplay
• Fast And Stable Solvers
• 6-DOF Ball Movement
• Impulse-Based Collision Response With Friction
• Double precision
• Threaded solver using Jobs and Burst Compilation
• 8Pool Example
• And more!

Todo:

• Network
• VR Support
• Android Support

Initial version 1.0 is now available on the asset store!

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer

 

The board returns to the starting state after the stroke，I don't know where it was configured

 

Hello @povit,

If the initial strike does not satisfy common eight pool ball rules, then the board is reset to previous(initial) state.
You can change this behavior in BilliardTemplate/Code/Billiard/EightPool/EightPoolBilliard.cs

I am working on making billiard template simpler to use and edit. Will post results soon.

 

I've started working on the new version of the billiard template. Here is how it looks so far:
