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
- Timer: 90 seconds per turn, shown on the TV. I picked the longer end of your range because a drunk man lining up a shot does not need a 60-second gun to his head.
- The "side thing": I read it as a $20 carve-out off the top of the pot for whoever has the best single clear through the first three rounds — ties split it. If that's not what you do, the number is one line in the config at the top of the script.
- Payout: winner takes the pot minus that $20; second place gets $20.
- Chips: five to start, lose one for a 5+-shot clear, lose one for a clock violation, lose one for a forfeit (skip). Zero chips = out.
- Turn order: fixed seating order, skipping whoever's out.
- Rounds: keep going until one player has chips. No cap.
- The clock: it's a visible countdown, but it never auto-punishes — you press the button when the guy finally wanders over from the smoking area. You're the ref; the app doesn't referee a bar.
- Scoring: one row per clear (shots, round by round). A 5-shot clear still goes on the board, it just costs you.
- The TV: the console is the TV page. Point the bar laptop at the TV, walk away with your phone. One file, one source of truth.
- No persistence: if the tab dies, the night dies. I put a backup button on the console that hands you a file you can re-open. See below.
- Playback: a scripted night — 12 players, 5 rounds, a clock violation, a forfeit, an elimination, a tie for the bonus — running through the exact same rules code as the console, one event per step, with a slider and back/forward.
The console

What'll go wrong
- The phone dies and the night dies with it. No storage means a dead battery, a browser swipe, or the phone going to sleep at the wrong moment wipes the whole game. That's why there's a BACKUP button — tap it after every round, it downloads a little file, and RESTORE picks the night back up. Do it religiously. Better: run the whole thing off the bar laptop that's driving the TV, and use your phone for nothing but beer.
- Two devices means two copies. If you open the console on the laptop and your phone, they don't know about each other. Pick one machine to be the console before nine o'clock and don't touch the other one.
- The clock is a prop, not a referee. It counts down and turns red, but it will never take a chip on its own — you press the button. If you get distracted talking to someone and the clock sits at 0:00 for four minutes, sixteen people will notice before you do.
- Undo rebuilds the night from the log. It's reliable, but it's not a time machine — if you're six events deep and you undo, you replay six events instantly. Fine. Just know the log is the truth; if you somehow log a wrong event and then a right one, undo only walks back one at a time.
- A 12-player night is ~100 taps. MISS, then 1–4, every turn, for hours. One-handed with a beer, you will fat-finger one eventually. The scoreboard is the check — if a number looks wrong, UNDO and redo it while it's fresh, not three rounds later.
- Nobody's names are on the TV until you change them. It boots with twelve placeholder names so you can test it Wednesday. Thursday, hit SET UP, type the real names in shooting order, and do it before the room fills up, because typing twelve names one-handed while Dana asks you what round it is is exactly the legal-pad energy you're trying to escape.
- The bonus is computed over rounds 1–3 only, ties split the $20, and "second place" is best average among non-winners. I invented all three of those. If the table disagrees with any of it at midnight, the app will not back you up, because the app is where those rules came from. Settle it before the first rack, not after.
- If everyone busts out in the same round (it can happen — chips go fast), the app splits the pot by best average and tells you so. Have a ruling ready for whether the room accepts that or wants a shootout.
- The TV page is the console page. If the bar laptop goes to sleep, the clock keeps running on whatever device is actually hosting the game. Set the laptop to never sleep.
- No sound, no lock screen, no "are you sure." A pocket-tap on MISS is one tap from happening. Hold the phone like you mean it.
