ABSTRACT:
An electronic pool game including a matrix display representative of the playing surface of a pool table, a control and driving circuit for applying driving signals to the matrix display for the display of indicia representative of pool balls, including a cue ball, on the matrix display, the driving and control circuit being further adapted for the selective application of further driving signals to the matrix display for the display of further indicia representative of direction of travel of the cue ball, and input switches for applying control signals to the control and driving circuit to control the placement and orientation of the direction indicia and at least the initiation of the displacement across the matrix display of the indicia representative of the cue ball in the direction indicated by the orientation of the direction indicia. The driving and control circuit may be adapted to detect the duration of engagement of an input switch for controlling the velocity of displacement of the cue ball indicia proportional to at least a portion of the duration of such engagement.
