Carrom
It has been described as a cross between billiards and shufflepuck.
Carrom is a tabletop game played with disks (carrom men) rather similar
to checkers pieces. It is popular throughout India and her neighbors.
This is probably the only computer simulation in existence.
The interface requires you to simultaneously use the keyboard, and
the mouse. For most interactions, you will have to hold down a key and
simultaneously move the mouse without releasing the key. The details are
explained in the enclosed text file, which is copied from the Carrom page
on Arnab Bose's defunct website.
The current version is unfinished, but fully understands the rules and
can be used to play the game against each other by two humans. In 2001,
Arnab Bose abandoned the project, a few years later, he released the
sources.
