    Hi,

    Few weeks ago I tried to make a billiard game with unity physics, the result was pretty bad, so I decided to make my own billiard physics engine which would work the way I want.

    Latest update(WIP):

    New update which includes:
    • Custom new physics engine
    • New game demo with multiplayer
    • Accurate physics
    • Improving performance
    • Spin
    • Compatible with android


    [ASSET STORE LINK]

    [WINDOWS DEMO]


    [ANDROID DEMO]

    So, how do you like billiard physics? I'd appreciate any feedback!

    Future updates will be posted here.

    Thank you for reading!

    Why are the balls spinning backwards? : D
    Looking good so far though.

    Sometimes you get blind staring at your own stuff to much : D

    I'm actually working on a billiard game too as a side project. And just like you too, I found that the built in physics just simply unreliable so I have to switch into simpler spherecasting here and there. But your seems more solid than mine. Mine usually failed to scatter all balls in the breakshot unlike yours..

    I wonder what's that horizontal and vertical blue lines that every ball has in the video? Are you using octree collision?

    this looks like a simple and fun game, would totally play this if this were on the app store

    Thank you very much, it really keeps me motivated.
    But unfortunately I won't publish this on google play..

    No, I'm planning to publish this asset at the asset store. But I'm still not sure what the price should be.

    Hi,
    It's been a long time since I posted last update. Now I'm back and I am working on a new amazing 3D billiard version which will hopefully be many times better than the last one! I am also aiming for the accurate physics and a whole custom physics engine!

    @CoderPro I'll probably finish it tomorrow. I was messing too much with improving performance and spin of the ball, this took a lot of time.
    I'm also thinking about lowering the price so it is more affordable.

    Today I uploaded it to the asset store for a review, I was working on a multiplayer demo too so it took me more time.
    Its funny how new update looks relative to current one.
    Clicking on a camera icon in top left corner would allow camera rotations, clicking it again would switch back to 2D.

    Hi

    your game has a lot potential and i am very interested in it.

    But if you can show multiplayer feature on android devices and

    if you can add ball icons when a ball pocketed.

    good luck.

    Best Regards.

    Thank you very much.
    Not much people (almost none) are interested in this project, even though this update took me whole full time month to be completed.

    Ball icons when pocketed is really simple to do and could be done in less than 15 mins, but I still find it hard to even open this project when I know how much time I spent for almost nothing :D

    I just hope that those who bought my template before are happy to see and get this update!

    I think you should add option that show ghost ball or not, like previous version (have suggestion circle ball). And you can see, ball still rotation when stop at a position, it not real.

    I can show how ghost ball could be added if you need any help.

    That is not true. Just imagine ball that is spinning with rotation pointing upwards relative to the surface (assuming that the surface is a plane which is perpendicular to the gravity vector) ball will stay in one point while rotating.

    You can change things such as rotation drag and velocity drag to get the effect you want. Also you may want to play around with friction of the ball and the surface.

    Document may take some time to be written, it would be better and faster to create a video that will explain most of the asset.
    Are you okay with the video?

    Hi,
    Here is the first video which shows basic setup of the billiard game template.


    I was not able to record last week since I was not feeling well.

    Hey guys. Got a POOL GAME that I have been working on lately. Started with the GitHub project someone stored, and have been improving it slowly. Plans to have this downloadable on the Asset Store. Currently working on the ENGLISH of the cueball
