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
- Par is 4, penalty is one chip — 5 shots or 20 shots, it's the same one chip. Simpler to argue about at 11pm.
- Minimum entry is 3 shots (three balls), so the pad shows 3–9+; 3 and 4 are green, 5+ are red.
- Clock is 90 seconds, since you never settled it. It auto-starts on each turn; tap the clock to pause/resume.
- Clock running out does not auto-charge — it goes red and waits for you to tap CLOCK. Guy may be mid-shot and you're the judge.
- Split: 70% winner / 20% runner-up / 10% hot start, rounded to the nearest $5, remainder onto the winner so the total is exactly the pot.
- Hot start = lowest average shots over rounds 1–3, minimum 2 turns played. If nobody qualifies, that 10% rolls to the winner.
- Runner-up = last person eliminated. If several bust in the same round and nobody's left, they split winner + runner-up money evenly.
- Late buy-ins allowed — they join with 5 chips and add $20 to the pot; walkouts forfeit.
- "END NIGHT NOW" settles from current standings (most chips, then best average) for when the bar closes mid-round.
- One screen serves both — the console layout is the TV board (mirror your phone); a corner button hides the pad if you ever put a second device on the TV.
- Undo is one step, unlimited — the whole night is a list of events, so undo just pops the last one and recomputes. Same engine text in both files.
- Console opens on a live game: 14 players, mid round 3, chips already burned.

What'll go wrong
- Undo is the only correction tool. If a guy disputes a score from three shooters ago, you have to undo four entries and re-enter them. There's no "edit round 3, seat 7." That's the biggest real gap.
- The clock is not enforced and doesn't survive a phone lock. Screen sleeps, app pauses, timer drifts. Treat it as a visual prompt, not a referee. Set your phone to never sleep.
- Nothing is saved. No localStorage (your rules), so a browser crash, an accidental tab close, or a phone reboot at 15% battery loses the whole night. Mitigation: keep the legal pad in your pocket and write the chip counts at the end of every round. Ugly but true.
- Battery. A phone driving a TV at full brightness for three hours at 15% is not going to make it. Bring a charger; that's a bar problem, not an app problem.
- "Mirror my phone to the TV" is doing a lot of work here. If your TV has a browser, open the console on the TV and your phone and you'll have two independent games that never agree. One device only, mirrored.
- Late joiner fairness. Someone buying in at round 6 with 5 fresh chips against a guy on 1 chip is going to start an argument. The app allows it because you said people show up whenever. You may want a house cutoff (no buy-ins after round 3) — that's a rule call, not a code call.
- Turn order is seat order = the order names were entered. People wander outside to smoke and come back. The app will keep putting them on the clock. There's no "skip, he's outside" that doesn't cost a chip — use WALKED only if they're gone for good.
- A player who never takes 2 turns in rounds 1–3 can't win the hot-start money, and if nobody qualifies it silently rolls onto the winner. Announce that before you take anybody's twenty.
- Simultaneous bust-out is handled but weird: if the last two both hit zero in the same round they split 90% of the pot and the hot-start 10% still pays separately. It's defensible, it's not obvious, and someone will contest it.
- Rounding to $5. With 13 buy-ins ($260) the numbers come out clean-ish, but the winner absorbs every leftover dollar so the total always matches the cash on the bar. If you'd rather pay exact percentages in singles, that's a one-line change.
- Two-hour nights with 16 people can run long. 16 players × 5 chips means the field can take 15+ rounds to burn down. If last call comes first, use MENU → END NIGHT NOW; it settles on chips then average, and the playback shows you exactly what that looks like.
- No player-name collision check. Two guys named Mike will both show as "Mike" and the payout list will merge their money. Type "Mike B."
