==== Description: ====
Billiards is a free simulator for billiards games.  It can be used to
practice straight rail, balkline and cushion billiards on your own or against
your friends. It is also designed to be customizable enough to allow one to
tailor the simulator to his needs (to implement new games for instance or to
study the physics of the game by fiddling with the physical properties of the
equipment, setting up shots or plotting ball trajectories, velocities and
spin).

Billiards consists of two parts.  The core is written in Objective-C
(although none of the class libraries have been used) and implements
simulation and rendering.  The game itself is written in Lua and is basically
a description of the physical properties of the various bodies and joints and
of the game logic (scoring, rules etc).  See the introduction in the manual
for more details.

==== Other Comments: ====
All scripts in the scripts/imagery and scripts/meshes directories and their
subdirectories are either images or 3d geometry in binary form.  These were
created by myself, in cases based on photographs distributed under the FDL or
in the public domain.  They're distributed under the FDL.
