AntiGravity-Pool
The first real-time pathtraced game for desktop and mobile using WebGL.

Desktop Controls
- Click anywhere to capture mouse
- move Mouse to aim cueball
- Mousewheel to dolly camera in or out
- SPACEBAR to enter shot mode. Power will oscillate up and down
- SPACEBAR again to shoot!
- when shot has been made and balls are moving, WASD to fly around the scene
Mobile Controls
- Swipe to aim cueball
- Pinch to dolly camera in or out
- small up button above directional controls to enter shot mode. Power will oscillate
- small up button again to shoot!
- when shot has been made and balls are moving, directional arrows to fly around the scene
TODO
- Squash sound fx bug due to the physics engine continually reporting collisions between balls and between balls and rails/walls. This results in sound fx playing repeatedly until the offending ball is pocketed. This bug is highly annoying so it gets the highest priority!
- Create simple banners to display game state (for example, “Player 1 Wins!”)
- Create widgets to display current target-ball color (red, yellow, or black), as well as shot power meter
ABOUT
- To my knowledge in 2019 this is the first real-time fully path traced game for all devices with a browser, including mobile. The technology behind this simple game is a combination of my three.js path tracing project, physics simulation through Oimo.js, and the WebAudio API for sound effects. The goal of this project is enabling path traced real-time games for all players, regardless of their system specs and GPU power.
