Hi,

I've added straight pool to funkypool. Currently it's in beta, so please report any problems here.

The idea of straight pool is simply to pocket as many balls as you can. Usually you must call the pocket for every shot, but this is not implemented yet. But you still should not pocket on the break, or try more than 1 ball on a single shot.

You require 35 points to win. Potting a ball gives you a point, foul deducts a point, three consecutive fouls costs you 15 points.

I've just seen two problems related to the game.

- The break is not continuing across multiple racks
- There is a problem when a player leaves and you can't exit (just close and reopen game to get round this)

I will restart in a bit to fix.

Is it suppose to re-rack when there is one ball left on the table? That's doing my nut in

Just now it re-racked them all rather than leave the one loose ball in it's position before the re-rack. But the next one it went back to leaving the last ball in it's postion rather than including it in the re-rack.

If the last ball in the way of the triangle then it will rack all 15 as like a start of the game.

Get that break sorted and this is a fantastic game.

Can't wait for that break to be sorted.

Great addition nick

Yes, that's why it's called 14.1 continuous. 1 ball is left to allow you to continue your break. Ideally you should leave the last ball in a place where you can pot it and send the cue into the 14 and break them all in 1 shot. (Note that there is a bug on this now, mentioned above).

Thanks for clearing that up, bit silly of me but I never heard of this.

It is fantastic though, I love it.

The record is 526 consecutive balls by Willie Mosconi. I hope a funkypooler can beat this!

As it is a beta, will the current rank points stay once the full thing is ready to launch? (Like unfound bugs fixed etc.)

Adding 'occurences' for the greatest run stat would be good

Wow loving this game!

Simple yet brilliant, bring this to orig snooker on FS

Another problem nick, when a person leaves, it should let you continue the break.

Along with that question, when you reach 35 points, do you get to continue the run, or does it automatically stop? I can't get on right now, so i had to ask

And is that a spelling error in the title? (conitnuous)

You get to continue.

Thanks for that one sporting

Great game Nick, nice work.

Thanks for the comments.

- Yes, break should continue when opponent leaves, just seen this isn't working
- Scores will stand so long as no significant problem is found (it seems ok now)

Nice game Nick, well done.

How about when ya opponent fouls, you have the choice to make them carry on?
