'''The Pool Parlor''' is a cross-platform game [[Special:MyLanguage/worlds|world]] based on the billiards table<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_(cue_sports)</ref> published by Toasterly in March 2023.

==Gameplay==
1-4 players utilize cue sticks on the billiards table to pocket balls or score points.

===Eight-ball<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-ball</ref>===
Eight-ball is played with sixteen billiard balls (a cue ball and fifteen object balls). The object balls include seven solid-colored balls numbered 1 through 7, seven striped balls numbered 9 through 15, and the black 8 ball. After the balls are scattered with a break shot, a player is assigned either the group of solid or striped balls once they have legally pocketed a ball from that group. The objective of the game is to legally pocket the 8-ball, which can only be done after all of the balls from a player's assigned group have been cleared from the table.

===Nine-Ball<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-ball</ref>===
Players must strike the white cue ball to pocket nine colored billiard balls, hitting them in ascending numerical order. As long as the lowest numbered ball on the table is contacted first by the cue ball, and any one or more of the object balls are pocketed in any of the pockets with no foul being committed, a player's inning continues. The winner is the player who legally pockets the nine-ball regardless of how many balls have been pocketed beforehand. This can happen earlier than the nine-ball being the sole remaining object ball on the table if it is pocketed via a combination or other indirect method.

===Four-ball<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-ball_billiards</ref>===
Played on a pocket-less table with four billiard balls, two red, one white, and one yellow. Each player is assigned one of the white (or yellow) balls as a cue ball. A point is scored when a shooter's cue ball caroms on any two other balls in the same shot. Two points are scored when the shooter caroms on each of the three object balls in a single shot. A carom on only one ball results in no points, and ends the shooter's inning.

===Six-red<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-red_snooker</ref>===
Six-red is a variant of snooker<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snooker</ref>, but with only six red balls initially on the table as opposed to the standard fifteen, played on a standard full-size snooker table measures 12 ft × 6 ft. The individual players or teams take turns to strike the cue ball to pot other balls in a predefined sequence, accumulating points for each successful pot and for each foul committed by the opposing player or team. An individual frame of snooker is won by the player who has scored the most points, and a snooker match ends when a player wins a predetermined number of frames.

==History==
In 2018, metaphira created and manufactured the first iteration of the billiard table. The billiards table, designed in SDK 2, had undergone multiple modifications and adjustments to the physics system in order to build a realistic physics system on a billiards table in VRChat. Following the release of [[Udon]] 1.0 in 2022, metaphira passed over the reigns to Toasterly, further improving the physics systems with the addition of a second pool table following a rework of the physics system.
