This program lets you play the CAROM billiard game within MS Windows. I tried to make it as realistic as possible but keep it simple, too. This means that I put as much physics into it as I thought it was reasonable. The main thing I couldn't figure out from the theorems of physics is what happens with the spin and speed when the ball hits a cushion, so this part was made on an experimental basis.
I don't include any comments on how to use the program, you just try it and see. Have a look at the help text as well, it's worth it...
I am looking forward to hearing your comments about this software. Just drop an e-mail. Thanks!
Enjoy carom.
You can download the program:
There is also a newer (but rather old) half-made version which contains some additional features:
You can download the "new" exe file below, but you have to know that this version has a few bugs and is much less stable than version 1.0. So it is a good idea to save the old exe file, too, when replacing it with this one. And, may I ask you to not upload this file to FTP sites or BBSs, because of the instability? Thanks.
