About this app

_May your aim be truer than your excuses._

Cue D’état is here to ostensibly help billiards players aim, determine shot angles, make the right cuts and banks, understand the tangent line, and improve their geometric understanding of the game. Stop wondering which magical potion made of mostly alcohol best improves your game. Instead see pool as a series of physics problems you are consistently failing. Maybe you get called a genius. Maybe you get called a cheater. At the very least, get yourself a high-tech understanding of how bad you are at pool.

WARNING: May induce an inflated sense of skill,
followed by the crushing reality of physics.
Use with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor.

This Android application uses your device's camera and a frankly excessive amount of mathematics to overlay aiming guides onto a pool table. It exists because the universe is governed by knowable laws, and you haven't figured out you live in that universe. A problem this app might, reluctantly, help rectify.

## Features

* **Live Camera Augmented Reality Overlay:**
* See the guides directly on your pool game.
* Designed for easy one or two-handed use.
* **Protractor Mode**
* To remind you of the basic, soul-crushing simplicity of a cut shot.
* See where the balls will go before you hit them.
* Rotates and zooms with on-screen gestures, tilts using the gyroscope.
* Banking made easy, displaying a "diamond count," so you can gently rail your balls in the way they like best.
* See what a tangent line is, why it's important for knowing what will happen to the cue ball, even if English (sidespin) is applied.
* **Make Bank**
* Calculate your multi-rail bank shots.
* Proof that even chaos subscribes to the laws of reflection, and it might be time to look at your own.
* **All of the Balls You Could Want**
* (You definitely want them.)
* Simulated motherf---ing balls on a projected motherf---ing plane.
* Determine whether or not another ball is in the way.
* **Spin Control**
* A tool for applying English. Maybe even British.
* Explore the subtle arts of post-impact trajectory, and other new and exciting ways to scratch.
* **Dynamic 3D Perspective**
* Use your phone's sensor data to create a 3D illusion. This feature's primary purpose is to induce a subtle vertigo that mirrors the existential dread of a poorly-played safety.
* **VERY Helpful Help:**
* Labels for key lines and what to do with them.
* Instructions better than Ikea's.
* Toggleable Help visibility for a cleaner view.
* Uplifting messages of slightly disdainful encouragement.

**This app is free on Github.**
