Strike Board
Flick the striker across a carrom-style board and pocket your coins before the bot clears its own. Real collision physics, bank shots, a queen worth three and a bot that plans its shots.
How to play
- You play the white coins from the bottom edge and the bot plays the dark coins from the top. Tap the board to aim, drag the Striker slider to slide along your line, set the Power slider and press Strike.
- Pocket one of your own coins and you score 1 and shoot again. The red queen in the middle is worth 3. Pocketing one of the bot's coins gives the bot the point, and your turn ends.
- If your striker drops into a pocket it is a foul: you lose 1 point and the turn passes.
- The game ends when every coin is off the board and the higher score wins. Easy, Medium and Hard change how accurately the bot shoots.
Tips and strategy
- Hit a coin on the side facing away from the pocket you want. The coin leaves along the line between the two centres, so aim for the point behind it.
- Bank shots off the cushion work well, but the board is lively. Use a low power on short straight shots so the striker does not follow the coin into the pocket.
- Clearing the queen early is worth three of your coins, though the bot can steal the points if you leave an easy shot behind.
- Arrow left and right turn the aim, up and down change the power, A and D slide the striker and Space strikes.
FAQ
- Is there a cover rule for the queen?
- No. This version keeps it simple: pocket the queen and the three points are yours straight away, with no need to cover it with another coin.
- How does the bot choose its shots?
- It tries dozens of aimed shots at each of its coins using the same physics you play with, keeps the best result and then adds a small aiming error that depends on the level.
- What if some coins never go in?
- After 60 shots in total the game ends and the higher score wins, so a stubborn last coin can never keep you stuck.
