Bricole is an aiming and training app for three-cushion carom billiards. Set the balls on the table and the app calculates exactly where to aim — and why. THE SHOT FAMILIES OF 3-CUSHION • Ball-first: the cue ball strikes the 1st object ball, then travels 3 rails to the 2nd — the core of the game. Bricole gives you the hit thickness and the cut angle. • Rail-first (bricole): the cue ball goes to the cushion first. Corner-5, Plus, Reverse, Cross-Table and End-Rail diamond systems give you the first-rail aim point. • Ticky and Umbrella: the shots where the cue ball touches one or two rails before the first ball. AIMING SOLVER • 8 systems, each with its own formula and its own range • Trajectory diagram: the cue ball's full path, rails numbered in order • Kiss warning — if the 1st ball would knock the 2nd away before the cue ball arrives, Bricole tells you and looks for a cleaner route • Compare systems side by side and see which one fits the position • Calibrate your table — every table plays differently, and the numbers adjust • Camera-assisted table alignment TRAINING • 64 drills across easy, intermediate and advanced • 8 five-drill sets, each building from easy to hard • Bronze, silver and gold mastery stars for every drill • Weekly Focus: a different system in the spotlight each week • Per-system accuracy statistics DAILY HABIT • Daily Position — one puzzle a day, the same for everyone, in the spirit of Wordle • Daily streak with freezes to protect it HONEST BY DESIGN Every calculation shows its assumptions and its source. The physics behind the ball-first family comes from published billiards research — the tangent line and the 30-degree rule — not from guesswork. • Works offline — no internet needed at the table • Interface in English, Turkish, Korean and Vietnamese Bricole is three-cushion carom only. It is not a pool or snooker app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://chaira23.github.io/bricole-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://chaira23.github.io/bricole-legal/privacy.html
