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
- Clock length: 90 seconds, with a 60/90/120 toggle on the console — you never settled it, so now you can settle it mid-game.
- "Side thing": after round 2, every active player throws $2 in a side pot; whoever has the fewest total shots through two rounds takes it. Simple, early, done.
- Second place: flat $20 (one buy-in) off the top, winner takes the rest. Easy to read aloud.
- Timeout: clock hitting zero pauses and flashes; you tap CLOCK to actually charge the chip. No accidental eliminations from a pocketed phone.
- Late arrivals: can buy in between rounds for $20 with 5 chips; they join the pot and the side-pot math already happened without them.
- Seeded state: console opens mid-round-3 with 12 players, one already eliminated, so the TV looks alive the second you open it.
- Ties: tied on chips at the end → sudden-death round between the tied players; tied on the side pot → split it.
- Playback RNG: seeded and deterministic — same seed, same night, every time, so what you rehearse is what the rules do.

What'll go wrong
- The undo is one level deep in practice. Two taps of UNDO and you're guessing. If you fat-finger a ball down and don't catch it for two shots, you're correcting by hand.
- Timeouts are on your honor. The clock charges a chip only when you tap CLOCK. If you're mid-beer and miss it, the room will let it slide — or they won't, and now you're the argument.
- The TV mode is a toggle, not a second screen. You're mirroring your phone; every control tap flashes on the big screen, and if your phone sleeps, the TV goes dark. Get a charger on it by 8:45.
- No persistence. Close the tab — by accident, by a phone call, by iOS deciding it's bored — and the whole night is gone. Back to the legal pad. Don't close the tab.
- Late buy-ins after the side pot are in the main pot but missed the side pot, and somebody will notice at midnight that they paid $22 of value for $20 of game. Decide now whether late guys pay $22 or just eat it.
- Ties are a note, not a mechanic. If two players are alive at the end, the console tells you to run sudden death but doesn't run it — you're improvising the tiebreaker with an audience.
- Second place is "last eliminated," which punishes the guy who got unlucky early over the guy who ground out ten rounds. Someone will have opinions. The playback won't settle them.
- The playback is a rehearsal, not a simulator of your room. Its timeouts and shot counts are random. Real Thursday has a guy who takes nine shots and argues about four of them, and no RNG models that.
