The Eight Ball — Pub Pool

MouseLook around WASDWalk (Shift to hurry, C to crouch) Click / EStep up to the table and take your shot Mouse (at the table)Aim — move up/down to raise your view Hold left buttonPull the mouse back to draw the cue, push forward to strike. How far you draw back sets the power; a short draw is a soft shot. Pushing slowly softens it further. SpaceAlternative: hold to draw the cue back slowly, release to shoot Shooting the 8Call your pocket first: move to a pocket and click (or press 1–6). Press C at the table to change it.

8-ball: pot all of your group (solids 1–7 or stripes 9–15), then the black 8 in a called pocket. Hit your own group first and make a ball reach a cushion or drop, or it's a foul — your opponent gets ball in hand. Potting the 8 early or scratching on it loses the frame.
