Taking on board the comments received, I have released a new trial version (gameplay available only)

Change List
1) The spin is proportional to the power (more people prefer this, and I agree, it is more elegant)

2) The max power on the cueball has been increased a tad to improve breaks

3) The yellow ball image has changed (addressing comments that it looked blurred)

Yes much better nick, easier to control and breaks are good too.

Like topshot said no blur.

Spin is much better too.

wd nick thts way better. when is it likely 2 change 2 tht version?

Tomorrow, giving it more time for more people to have a look!

I think the new look to the gameplay system is cool. The only bad thing I find is the break off shot cause I can't seem to pot balls any more off the break!

Well i like it lol, keep it up dude

WTF

does this mean i can never play funkypool again, i cant update my version!

HELP?

I Love this game

sorry 2 posts????need help guys NICK????

I think its much better, thumbs up from me, the break is realistic now, balls can be potted with reasonable ease, but not too easily as with the original old version.

it's only a test version ice_cool, so no game server is available yet.

That's good nick. Sounds aren't working too well on my pc? Could this be due to the server its on, or my pc?

looking good. sound on mine seems to be fine. the break is a lot better and a lot smoother, also the spin control is excellent.

looks great except one thing (sorry to have a moan) but the balls seem to stop a tad too harshly?

Also are you planning on changing the rule that only allows you break off inside the D?

thanks

yeah, nice ;-0)

Good job!!, much better with the added power.

good job nick!!!! wd this version seems better but still think your shading makes the yellow/white balls look too square, but the gameplay appears to be much better now.

Thanks :-D

Theres summint wrong with the backspin at close range. When you apply full backspin at close range, the white ends up springing off the colour much faster and ends up further back than it started. Now according to newtons law of conservation of momentum 8-) this is impossible!!

this was covered before. I think the answer was that when you use sidespin correctly, it functions properly. When you don't it's realistic.

how can you use sidespin "correctly" and "incorrectly" though?

it only really has an effect of a cushion.
