Pool

[OldMoses]

hello OldMoses

was playing your latest pool game and my subconscious anger led me to max the power at 50 on all my shots, after a number of shots I saw the 14 ball roll on top side rail from right to left, I am guessing it's bug

Let me guess, it entered this condition after hitting a side pocket bevel and just sort of wiggled along the bumper? If so, I believe it's getting confused as to which bumper normal to take and gets out of bounds, then it just rebounds along the wall vector, zig-zagging back and forth. I've seen it several times myself.

I implemented the following dot product test and tried it with with all full power shots, so far I haven't been able to get it to walk the rail anymore.

Code: (Select All)

 'in SUB ColCheck  

'CHECK FOR BUMPER INTERSECTIONS
    FOR x% = 0 TO 17
        IF NewlineSegCirc(bmp(x%), bl(var)) = 0 THEN _CONTINUE
        IF R2_Dot(bl(var).d, bmp(x%).n) > 0 THEN _CONTINUE '<<<adding this line should stop bumper walkers
