Bankline Billiards

Bankline Billiards — Proof of Concept & Physics Engine Demo

Bankline Billiards is a functional billiards simulation built to demonstrate core physics and collision mechanics, designed as a foundation for various physics-based sports and games. While presented as a pool game prototype, this project serves as a versatile game engine proof of concept, showcasing realistic ball movement, collision response, and interactive gameplay elements.

Features:

• Realistic ball physics with friction, collision, and bounce mechanics

• Modular design adaptable for other sports games like ping pong, hockey, volleyball, and more

• AI opponent with simple shot-taking logic

• Dynamic obstacles with multiple post types affecting ball behavior

• Scoring, fouls, and turn-based gameplay logic

• Fully coded in Python using Pygame — easily extensible

Purpose:
This project highlights my ability to build complex physics simulations and game logic from the ground up, intended as a core engine to be expanded into other game types beyond billiards.
