What is Billiards

Billiards is a game similar to snooker.
It is played with 3 balls, a red, yellow and a white.
The yellow and the white ball are the "Cue Balls."
These are the balls that you and your opponent hit first before making contact with another ball.
The objective of the game is to outscore your opponent.
If your cue ball hits the red ball and the red ball goes into the pocket, that is 3 points Then you have to put the red ball back on it's spot.
If you hit your cue ball and it goes in off the red, then that is also 3 points, and you take your ball out of the pocket and place it somewhere inside the semi-circle to take your next shot
If your cue ball goes in off your opponent's cue ball then its 2 points, but your opponent's ball stays in the pocket until you miss a shot next.
You keep on having shots until you miss a shot, and your score of consecutive shots without missing is called a "Break"
