My buddy runs a bar. I told him I'd build him something for Thursdays. He's the one talking here — I just write down what he says and hand it to you.
The game
It's not real pool. Three balls on the table, you shoot until all three are down, and we count how many shots it took you. Low is good. Everybody takes a turn, then we go around again — that's a round.
Twenty bucks to play. You start with five chips. Take more than four shots to clear the table and it costs you a chip. Out of chips and you're out, go back to drinking. Last one with chips left takes the pot.
There's a clock on your turn — a minute, minute and a half, we've never really settled it. Clock runs out and you're not at the table, that's a chip.
The night
It's a Thursday. Nine o'clock, everybody's had a few, the jukebox is loud and half the room is outside smoking. Twelve, sixteen people usually, however many show up. It runs two, three hours and nobody's in a hurry.
Last year I ran the whole thing on a legal pad and it got away from me around round four. Two guys arguing with me about what they shot, me trying to remember whose turn it was, somebody's beer on the pad. Never again.
I'm running this off my phone, one-handed, standing at the table with a beer in the other. There's a TV over the bar and that's the only screen anybody in the room can see — from across the room, in the dark, so it's got to be big. People want to know where they stand without walking over and asking me.
My phone's on 15% by ten. The bar's wifi is the bar's wifi.
The money
Twenty a head, all of it in the pot. Winner takes it — mostly. We kick a little to second. And there's a side thing we do for whoever's shooting best early on, I never wrote that part down properly.
The app doesn't hold the money. I do. But at the end of the night it has to tell me what I owe who, and I'm reading that off my phone with sixteen people standing around the table.
What I want
Two pages.
The console — the thing I run it from, and the thing that goes up on the TV. Open it and there's already a game going. I'm not typing in twelve names to find out whether it works.
The playback — a separate page that plays a whole night through, start to finish, so I can watch it work before Thursday. One step at a time, a step being one thing happening, with the scorecard filling in as it goes and a slider for how fast it runs. I want to slow it down, back it up, and read what just happened. Show me the way a night actually goes.
The playback runs the same rules the console runs. If the two of them drift apart, the playback is a cartoon and it's no use to me.
House rules
- Two files. Each one a single HTML file — everything inline, no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - No libraries. No frameworks.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB— these run in a sandboxed frame where those throw. - Exactly two fenced
htmlblocks: the console first, the playback second. Leave yourself room for the second one.
Answer in exactly these sections
What you filled in
I know I wasn't clear about everything. Everything you had to decide for me, one line each — what you decided and why. Short.
The console
The first fenced html block.
The playback
The second fenced html block.
What'll go wrong
It's Thursday, it's nine o'clock, and I'm running this for real. What comes up that this doesn't handle? Be straight with me. I'd much rather hear it now than find out with sixteen people around a pool table and three hundred dollars sitting on the bar.
assistant
What you filled in
- 14 regulars already on the sheet, round 1, Dez to shoot — so you open it and you're running, not typing names to see if it works.
- Clock is 90 seconds (tap 60/90/120 to change). It never takes a chip by itself; you hit NOT HERE, because an auto-chip mid-shot starts a fight.
- 5 or more shots costs a chip; 4 or under is clean — that's your rule, written down.
- NOT HERE burns a chip and that turn is over.
- Hot Stick: when round 2 is in the books, lowest total shots gets $20 out of the pot, paid right then. Ties stay with whoever sits higher on the list — one envelope, no splitting $20 three ways at 11pm.
- Last player knocked out gets $40; winner gets the rest. On a 12–16 head night that's "a little to second."
- Same
Rules()function is copied into both files. Playback only feeds a scripted night through it, so the cartoon can't drift. - UNDO walks back the last score or no-show. That's it — not a time machine for round 2.
- ADD puts $20 in the pot and 5 chips; they wait until the next round. Tap a name to rename. Blank a name only works before anybody has shot.
- New Night wipes chips and scores, keeps the names.

What'll go wrong
Refresh, a crash, a phone call that iOS uses to kill Safari, or the 15% battery hitting zero — the night is gone. Nothing is saved. That is the one that actually ruins Thursday. Plug the phone in before you take the first name, and do not open another tab.
You cannot fix a disputed score from three rounds ago. UNDO only peels the last thing off. The argument you had on the legal pad in round 4 is still coming; you'll be negotiating chips by mouth while the board is wrong.
If Moose is on the sheet and he doesn't show, you can only take him off before anybody has shot. After that his $20 is in the pot whether he paid you or not. Add people who have handed you cash. Take the no-shows off at 8:55, not 9:20.
Hot Stick throws a full-screen PAY THEM NOW in the middle of a round. You will dismiss it with a beer in your hand and then not be sure whether you peeled off the $20. The header keeps saying HOT so-and-so — believe that, not your pocket.
Late joiners get five fresh chips. The table will call that unfair if they walk in at round 6. That's a house call, not an app call.
The clock has no teeth unless you hit NOT HERE. You will forget to start it. Someone will be in the bathroom. Do not let the clock be the fight; you are the fight.
If you mirror to the TV and the TV takes touch, someone will enter a 9. Put the phone in your hand, not on the rail.
When the second-to-last player busts, the game ends even if the winner wanted a pride round. The overlay is the payout. Pride shots are off the book.
Names are fake regulars. Changing fourteen of them with a prompt on a phone, one-handed, with people talking to you, is miserable. Do it before the room fills up.
The app never sees the cash. If you let someone IOU, or one guy pays for two, or you already bought a round out of the envelope, the payout screen will still tell you to hand over the math on 14 × 20. Count the envelope before you read the screen out loud.
