A sandbox billiards game that emphasizes realistic physics.
Project description
Description
Pooltool is a general purpose billiards simulator crafted specifically for science and engineering.
Its core design principles focus on speed, flexibility, and the ease of visualization and analysis. With an interactive 3D interface, a robust API, and extensive documentation, pooltool aims to be a systemic tool in billiards-related research. Continuously evolving through active maintenance and bolstered by a growing community, this vision for pooltool emphasizes not just its current capabilities, but also its potential for growth and adaptation within billiards simulation.
Pooltool is peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) and pyOpenSci.
