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 or indexedDB — these run in a sandboxed frame where those throw.
Exactly two fenced html blocks: 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

12 players preloaded, $20 each, $240 pot — so it opens alive, no typing.
Par is 4: 1-4 safe, 5+ loses a chip — literal reading of "more than four."
Turn clock is 60 seconds, operator taps TIMEOUT to take the chip — no auto-punish from a loud bar.
Timeout costs 1 chip, records no shot — clock foul is separate from bad shooting.
Pot: $20 Early Bird off the top, remainder 75% winner / 25% second — gives "mostly + kick to second."
Early Bird = lowest total shots through end of Round 2, min 2 turns, ties split — invents the side pot you never wrote down.
Turn order is fixed signup order, dead players skipped, round = full loop — matches "go around again."
Game ends when 1 player has chips left; second = last player eliminated — simple payout trigger.
Undo stores full snapshot before every tap — fixes legal-pad arguments and beer spills.
TV mode is same file, black/white huge text toggle — one phone drives room TV.

What'll go wrong

Real money stays messy: ties for second or Early Bird split the prize and the app rounds — you'll still do mental math with people staring at you.
No undo-proofing: a wrong tap mid-argument is only fixable with UNDO in reverse order; two mistakes means unwinding good entries too.
One phone is one point of failure: 15% battery, dropped phone, or closed browser kills the night — there's no save, no second screen backup, by design.
The clock is honor system: it beeps visually but never auto-deducts, so "I was at the table!" fights still land on you.
Late arrivals, split pots, and walk-outs aren't modeled: anyone joining after Round 1 or quitting angry has no button — you'll improvise chips and pot on the fly.
TV mode assumes you can mirror/cast this page: in a sandbox with no network that step is on you, and small text messages won't read from across a dark bar.
16 people breaks the layout: it was built around 12 preloaded names; adding players mid-night shifts turn order and the Early Bird math.
Drunk operation error: 1/2/3/4 and 5/6+ buttons are adjacent, one-handed, with beer involved — a fat-finger costs someone a chip with a full log watching.
