How to play Precision Pool
Play a casual eight-ball match against NOVA, the computer opponent. After the break, the first legal object ball pocketed assigns solids or stripes. Clear your group before pocketing the black 8-ball. A red aiming marker warns of an incorrect target; the shot is still playable and a foul is judged afterward.
Mouse, keyboard and touch controls
Drag around the white cue ball to rotate your aim. Pull straight backward from the cue stick or white ball, then release to shoot. Longer pulls increase power. The arrow keys make small aiming adjustments, and Space takes a medium-power shot. On a phone, turn the screen sideways for the full table.
Fouls, ball in hand and called pockets
Pocketing the white ball, hitting the wrong group first or failing to reach a cushion after contact when no ball is pocketed can cause a foul. The incoming player gets ball in hand: drag the white ball to a clear position and release before aiming. From stage 5 of each Play, select a pocket before a legal attempt on the black ball. The selected pocket flashes green; the other pockets flash red.

Frequently asked questions
Can I play pool without downloading an app?
Yes. Precision Pool runs in your browser and supports mouse, keyboard and touch controls.
Am I playing against another person?
This pool mode is a local match against NOVA, an AI opponent, rather than a live online player.
Why did I lose after pocketing the black ball?
Pocketing the 8-ball too early or while committing a foul loses the rack. From stage 5, potting it in a different pocket from the one selected also loses the rack.
