Paths built by mirror reflection, sorted by length (shorter is usually easier). No english, speed or friction yet — tier 2 adds physics, tier 3 adds make probability.

How to use

  1. Drag the cue ball (white), ball 1 (yellow) and ball 2 (red) to their real positions. Coordinates in mm show on each ball.
  2. Read the measurements: distance to each rail, centre–centre and edge–edge; frozen balls are flagged in red.
  3. Pick a path from the list to draw it: “ball 1 first” (cue → ball 1 → ≥ 3 rails → ball 2) or “rail first” (bank).
  4. Tap “Share position” to send the link to a friend or coach — the link holds all three coordinates.
