🎱 Billiards — Elastic Collisions

A full billiards table simulation with accurate elastic ball-ball collisions, topspin, backspin effects and a realistic cue stick. Rack 15 balls and play — the physics handles momentum transfer, friction and energy conservation.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Elastic collisions preserving momentum and kinetic energy. Spin effects add topspin and backspin behaviour after contact.

🎮 How to Use

Aim with the cue by clicking and dragging. Adjust friction and restitution (bounciness) sliders. Rack a new game at any time.

💡 Did You Know?

In a perfectly elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. Real billiard balls have a coefficient of restitution of about 0.95.
