This thread is too quiet without skinny and Richard

Someone manufacture some controversy or smack

Okay, I figured out the magic distance and angle to sink the 4 ball every time on the first stage on the break.

Like what ? I can only insult James so many times....

 

I got a perfect on stage 1, almost got a perfect on stage 2 but fucked up on the last ball, somehow got a perfect on stage 3, and made it to stage 7. I'm too lazy to figure out the exact angle and everything I need for each ball, so I try to wing it the best I can.

From what I am seeing, it depends on the stage it gives you.
If you start from a fresh boot, it will always behave the same way, but after you reset once, it changes the background scenario and starts the seed with a different value. But even then, the amount of starting seed values seem to be limited.
There was about 10 different spreads after the break from my tests. I ran about 100 breaks.
Since I always start fresh from a system boot, my angles calculations are unchanged and I can pocket the balls 100% of the time with those numbers.

I've figured out that all you have to do is hit right twice to pocket the 4 ball every time when breaking on the first level.

Yeah, even when breaking from an angle, I get different outcomes after resets, even though I'm always sinking the 4 ball. It's the resets.
 

Stage 59 is driving me insane. But I will gather the data, one way or another.
Just two stages more to go and I can post a 60 perfect games score... and then I will have to repeat it tomorrow or Friday night with all the data I gathered to record a video and post here.
My poor sanity. At least the math part has been fun.  

Score updated at page 1.
I will be posting video proof till Saturday. For now my sanity is nowhere to be found.

Is that the highest score possible?? Damn.

Meanwhile the rest of us are posting baby scores.

 

No, it is definitely not the highest score possible.
I have left quite a few points in the table while I was building rate to 99 by dropping higher numbered balls before lower numbered ones.
Dropping 2 or more balls with a single shot also build bonus ratio, which would allow one to reach ratio 99 earlier and thus scoring higher.
I think that score can be surpassed by at least 100K points.
But I sure as hell ain't going to try that.

 

Played for about 30 minutes and disappointed. Doesn't really behave like real billiards, something is off. Your score is just insane Bea.

Is this the most "top heavy" scoreboard in contest history? I mean, look at it. LOL.

Probably, but that's the game's fault. She's playing the math while the rest of you are playing with your guts, lol. I never knew the game had almost no randomness regarding the movement of the balls, etc. That makes it rather a puzzle than a sports game when you think about it.

Well, as fun as this is, I think I'm done here...back to vacation!
Got a couple spare minutes to try this again.  I find myself getting bored and just hitting the ball all crazy after a while.  Kinda like real pool.  

No GUTS here MAN...  I used my vast knowledge of billiards to get my super high score.  
 

 

Quite honestly, I shouldn't be running my mouth about it cause I don't think I could pull anything better than you guys, haha.

I just played it a handful of times to get a somewhat respectable score on the board. If my sports lead was a little closer, I might try and put some more effort into it, but I'm on vacation...

And yeah, this is much more a puzzle game than a sports game, as is real pool if you ask me. This just takes the intimidation, beer, and hot chicks walking around the table out of the game.

The balls have no spin and no weight here. So yeah, it plays nothing like billiards.
The physics used in this game is way over simplistic, which allowed me to exploit it to achieve that score through basic math.
It just takes too damn long to beat the game, and even more so when you are in front of a screen with a angle measuring tool and a notebook writing down numbers and doing math at your side.  
 

I don't get to be "top heavy" too often, so I bite every opportunity I get.  

Seriously, getting to use math for fun again was great.
Nights filled with booze, chocolate and math? I haven't had this much fun in a very long while.

 

I'm now convinced that the more Bea loves a game and sings about how easy it is, the more it will make me want to smash my face into my TV

Updated my score in honor of the missing Richardhead.

I'll post my score at lunch time(about 2 or 3 hours from now). Was finally able to get some play in at break time, and did decently well. After Stage 3, it seemed to get really easy up until stage 11 or so.

Fucking stage 3... 9/10 of my runs end there.
