This is a billiards game with newtons physics.
I have uploaded a image of what it looks like right now

=done
=not done

LIST:

Collision with all the balls and everything else
The pool table and room
Rotating the poolstick around the ball

acctually hitting the ball
the HUD
doing the english on the ball
moving the cueball
checking which ball is in the pocket
lighting... defineatly

Well that's about all i can think of at the time..
I am hoping to get a demo finished by Mid-June or early July.
So now i just want feedback on how the first screenshot looks..
Thank You Guys

Sounds like you have a great start on the game. I have some suggestions for you:

-Create textures for the balls. If you play billiards at all I think you know the different colors and numbers

-Create the pockets more to scale, they are too large in my opinion. Unless a billiards table has humongous pockets, as I've only played on a pool table as for as I know.

-Lower the rails. Again, if a billiards table is different than a pool table I may be wrong on this one...
