Velocity of a ball

• Velocity decreases in a liniair way
• Initial speed when cue ball is played is constant

Using the Billiards cue

• Only the cue ball has a proximity sensor for the
  Billiards cue

The edges of the table

• Each ball has a proximity sensor for other balls
• Each ball has a proximaty sensor for the edges of
  the table

Collision (2)

• Two balls hit eachother in a straight line
• or

The View Point

Restrictions of our game

• Only one player
• No effects
