Billiard Master

Billiard Master is a simple billiard game showing various features of the Gorilla3D framework. It uses physics for collision detection and game mechanics. The game was not fully implemented, but it's a good start to finish all the rules of a billiard game.

Features:

• Checks if balls fell into holes and marks them on the left side
• Checks if balls fell off the table and re-position them on the table
• Checks if the white ball fell into a hole and re-positions it
• Sound effect on ball collisions, depending on their intensity of crash (louder or softer clack-sound)
• Checks if balls are standing still to unlock shooting mode

NOTICE: The game was developed with a NVIDIA GeForce 720 GT (2014). Screenshots and videos material is very limited due to bad performance.

Used components:

• Realtime global illumination (not recommended for elder GPUs)
• Q3 Physics System (only in Developer Edition and GAMEPACKAGE available)
• TGorillaSphere with static vertices for fast rendering
• OBJ model loader
• Mesh collision detection (of the table)
• FMOD audio interface for music and sound effects
• Mouse interaction for game mechanics
• Auto-Camera adjustment to the white ball for a nice gameplay

##Requirements:

• You need to at least Delphi 10.1+ and Gorilla3D Developer Edition package to be installed
• A GPU with at least OpenGL 4.3
• Gorilla3D Developer Edition or GAMEPACKAGE

##Installation

1. Install Gorilla3D from GetIt-Package-Manager
2. Use the Gorilla3D Installer Tool from https://gorilla3d.de/download/Gorilla3DInstaller.zip
3. Manual installation by downloading the package from https://gorilla3d.de/files/?dir=packages and reading installation guides at https://docs.gorilla3d.de/1.0.0/start
