Bug: if you click the black ball while it's moving, it stops.

I would also have it so that the cue stick showes up whenever all the balls are stopped and one mouse click is used to hit the cue ball, instead of having to hold the mouse down.

Me too! About the super duper bit!

The black ball always (I mean always!) rolls into one of the holes! Should there be a penalty (like, one point off) for this or does that make it too hard? I feel like there needs to be some sort of obstacle (um, what about prongs which burst the ball, table on a tilting/moving slope ... I don't know), because to get to the next level isn't that difficult. Maybe different colour balls can be worth different point values and multiply in (like, 2 x 4 x 9).

Also, maybe a sound effects off button. They're very cool, but after a while some people may want to turn them off. Was it just my imagination, or when you get two balls in from one hit, does a lady say 'Very good'?

Ooh, and you could have a circular table, or even a triangular one!

I thouhgt click-and-drag was the best way to control direction and strength of strike. Possibly one click on ball then one click to strike?

Also, maybe you could rotate the board with the arrow keys too?

Cool stuff!

Bug: If you shoot the black ball while it's falling down a hole, it often still strikes other balls! (You don't see the ball moving, the other balls just act hit.) To the program's (and yours!) credit, even when this happens, the ball still drops out of the void like it normally would.

Comment: The game is quite easy because if you land a ball anywhere on a square containing a hole, the ball is sucked into it. Perhaps a "hard mode" option is in order that restricts the "hit zone" to the size of the hole graphic?

Bug: I don't know why, but on level 3, I gave the black ball a shot to get the yellow in the 8-hole. As soon as the ball came into contact with the edge of the board, the ball just disappeared, as if I hit it so hard it came off the board. Is this a bug?
