How to Play Amju Super Cool Pool Player Select Choose a one-player practice game, a one-player game, or a two player game. You can play against a friend, or against the computer! The difference between a practice game and a regular one-player game is that your stats are not recorded. Also in practice mode you can undo shots, and you can see the path the balls will take. Creating Players Up to four people can save all their game stats. To create a new player, click on a New Player button. Then type in the new player name. Game Select Choose a table, then a game - 6 Ball, 9 ball, US 8 Ball or UK 8 ball Pool. How to aim the cue To move the cue, move the mouse while holding down the (left) mouse button. How to take a shot Hold down the right mouse button while you move the mouse. Mac users, hold down Ctrl and drag the mouse. You will see a power guage appear. Pull the mouse back for more power, or push forwards for less power. When you are ready, release the mouse button to take the shot. To cancel the shot, push up until the power guage is empty, and release the mouse button. How to move the cue contact position The contact position is where the cue hits the cue ball. To move it around, hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse. Mac users should hold down Alt+Option and drag the mouse. The current contact position is shown at the bottom left. Hitting the side of the cueball gives you sidespin, also called "english". This causes the path of the cue ball to curve. Hitting the top of the cue ball gives you topspin, and hitting below the centre gives you backspin. This causes the cue ball to travel forwards or back after it has hit another ball. Hitting the cue ball at the very bottom will make it jump! Moving the Camera Use the arrow keys to move the camera around. Use the Z and X keys to zoom in and out. Visit amju.com Back to Contents Page
