The upgrades keep coming thick and fast!
Anyway – cool to see the pool rules getting a fix-up. That means my special top-left spin break shot should now be a valid way to break and pot a ball :-).
Now all we need is jump shots :-)

At last, playing Snooker has become fun too thanks to the improved code. Thank you guys!
Still a few problems left, e.g.: AI erroneously puts brown & pink in one shot and I only get 4 points in return (instead of 5). It’s also unclear to me how to position the cue ball (though this might be an interferance with a Metacity shortcut), this used to be [Alt]+[Left M.] IIRC?
