This code was written by Ian Parberry to accompany his book "Introduction to Game Physics with Box2D", published by CRC Press in 2013.

This is the Pool End Game, a simple Windows application that uses DirectX 9 for rendering and hand-written code for the physics. The code uses ball-to-wall and ball-to-ball collision detection and response from Chapter 2. The aim is to sink the 8-ball while not sinking the cue-ball.

Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the initial position of the cue-ball, the left and right arrow keys to adjust the cue-ball's direction (indicated by an arrow on the screen, and the space key to fire the ball. The space bar also restarts the game after you've sunk a ball. ESC exits the game.
