RIKKI SNOOKER CLUB
The game opens in a horizontal layout automatically. Aim on the cloth, pull down the cue slider at the right, then release to strike. Tap Spin, then slide the red marker on the cue ball. Tap outside to return to play. Use Menu for shot nomination. A tap without dragging does not shoot. Call heads or tails before each new frame. The toss winner chooses who breaks. Play against the expert Rikki on mobile or desktop. Tap the cloth to aim, or use the fine-aim buttons. Place the white inside the highlighted area when it is in hand. Pocket labels match the overhead table.
Play with 15 reds. Pot a red, nominate a colour, and alternate. After the last red and its colour, clear yellow through black. A foul awards 4–7 points; the white stays where it finishes unless potted, when it returns in hand to the D. You may accept the position or ask the offender to play again. A called miss also allows restoration. Snookered after a foul? Nominate a free ball. A tied final black is re-spotted.
Break from behind the head string. Pot a ball or send at least four object balls to a cushion. The table stays open after the break. Call a ball and pocket to claim your group. Clear your group before calling the 8-ball. Hit your group first and then pot a ball or reach a cushion. A standard foul gives ball in hand; early or wrongly pocketed 8-ball loses. A break-time 8-ball is spotted or re-racked. Call safety to end your visit after a legal shot.
Both players share a 100% power limit. Full power is a hard break, not the best choice for every pot. Spin wears off over distance. The Rikki tests possible shots without changing the balls or pocket sizes. Sound starts after your first interaction; use Sound to mute.
Rules reference: WPBSA snooker and WPA 8-ball. The digital referee uses geometric visibility for free balls and misses. Human judgement, conduct penalties, jump shots and physical equipment infringements are outside this 2D simulation.
