Fallout Studios Forums

I've had this idea for a while, but don't really know where to start. There are no (real) bar billiards games that I can find online... the only one I can find has dead links. Anyway, if you don't don't know what Bar Billiards is, I need to start spamming it more... imagine something along the lines of pool/snooker. Anyone got any ideas for where to start? I guess it would be easy to get a free engine or mod an existing game, but I don't know if what I need exists...

You can do pretty much anything in Source Mr Bob

Where would I even start? I have practically zero knowledge of source.

Internets is your friend Bob

ModDB is full of source mod Tutorials

Billiards doesn't seem too hard to make from scratch. Some basic knowledge of OpenGL, and either SDL or wxWidgets would do nicely. Gotta know your C++ though.

How about here

I look at that list, and realise that I am happily satisfied with not wanting to mod Source.

As much as I appreciate the links to lists of tutorials, they don't really help. I don't know anything about modding source, heck I don't even have source to mod.

Well that'll be a problem then

IIRC you could probably make this in Hammer by itself if you're thinking of Source. It'd take a lot of work, but not as much as a full blown mod.

TBH, after further thought, Source isn't a good way to go. Not only would I have to get it, everyone else would to... If I do ever get around to making this game I want this easily accessible to any one.

You could always try Flash or even Silverlight.
