GTKPool is a 2D pool game using the GTK+ toolkit. It should run on Unix
and Linux variants. It currently supports playing 8-ball, 9-ball and Rotation
as well as a "No Rules" option for practice/just messing around. It supports
many options and has configurable physics so you can do almost anything.
Generally it is a pleasant way to spend time that you should be spending with
your friends and family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I, of course,
welcome your suggestions, so send anything to
gtkpool@seul.org

I know most people think there is nothing they can do to help out. But you can. Let me know what you think and what you would like to see it do. If you are really pumped up, you can send in patches and code. You could also write up some documentation or some music that can play or something. You can criticize, flatter, abuse, congratulate, threaten, stroke my ego or whatever gives you the greatest satisfaction.

GTKPool was originally written by Jacques Fortier. His efforts inspired me to waste great amounts of time knocking little computer generated balls around my screen. They eventually inspired me to waste even more time (and give me an excuse to play even more) writting additions to it. I would like to thank him for those efforts.
The current maintainer is now Brian Ashe (me). Feel free to abuse me with your petty desires for features and bug fixes. I understand how you feel so I will accommodate. You can reach me at gtkpool@seul.org |
