billard-gl — OpenGL billiards game
Synopsis
billard-gl [options]Description
This manual page documents the billard-gl program. This manual page was written for Debian because the original program does not have a manual page.billard-gl implements a game of 8- or 9-ball billiards, which you can play against the computer or a friend. The general idea of billiards is to hit the coloured balls with the cue ball in such a way that these balls fall in one of the six pockets of the table.
