How many game modes are there in 8 Ball Billiards?

8 Ball Billiards offers 2 game modes, which you can choose to play:

Single Player Mode

This mode is perfect for practice. When playing, you will compete directly against a bot. The bot is pre-programmed with various playing styles and countless ways to adapt to balance the score. Don't underestimate playing against the computer; instead, develop your own strategies to cope with every situation. Once you've mastered the game mechanics and developed a winning strategy, move on to the next mode, which will be much more exciting and challenging.

Play with a Friend Mode

In this mode, you will compete directly against a real friend, playing on the same computer. Both players will take turns controlling the cue stick with the mouse. Your turn begins when your opponent misses a shot and ends when you miss a shot. You must observe, calculate, and counter-attack to clear all the balls of your group from the table and sink the black 8-ball to win.

Understanding the Rules

• In each game of 8 Ball Billiards, you will be assigned to a specific group of balls: either striped or solid. Your task is to sink all the balls belonging to your group into the pockets before your opponent.
• You win by sinking the black 8-ball after you have sunk all of your own balls. You need to calculate carefully to sink the balls into the pockets, ideally from the first shot. If you miss, your turn ends, and the opportunity is passed to your opponent.
• The white ball is the ball that both you and your opponent will control to push your respective balls into the pockets. If the white ball falls into a pocket, you lose your turn.

Tips and Strategies for Winning

• Observe and determine ball positions: This helps you determine the ideal trajectory, choose the appropriate target ball, and plan for subsequent shots.
• Utilize bank shots: By accurately calculating the angle and force of your shot, you can sink the ball even when a direct path is obstructed, while also gaining an advantage for your next turn.
• Stay calm and shoot accurately: Maintaining composure and controlling the force and direction of your shots will help you make precise shots and increase your chances of winning the match.
