On the Pool table there are object balls in a classic triangle. The shotis performed with a force that could be regulated from the bottom centerof the table. When three or more balls of the same color (including the cue ball) are connected together, they are removed from the table. The task of the player is to remove all the balls from the table in order togo to the next level. The position of balls on the virtual net of the table is fixed, that is why even if the player did not use the necessaryforce of the shot the balls do not go to the sides of the table as in ordinary Pool. Anyway, if the shot is not successful, the additional balls appear on the table. The algorithm of placing the balls was developed following John Conway'sGame of Life; modifications in it are connected with the peculiarities ofhexagonal net and addition of an element of chance. As the result the gamehas strikingly beautiful color combinations that dynamically change from shot to shot.
