HISTORY

• Version 1.1 (March 2000)
  • Added three new kinds of billiard games: Goriziana, Carom and 3_Balls.
  • The variant of "Goriziana" present in the previous versions is now called "Goriziana (Bar)", because it was not compliant to the official rules. The actual Goriziana instead uses the international rules.
  • The colour of the balls has been changed to apply the official rules.
  • In "Boccette" now the bumper shot doubles the score.
  • The menus have been redesigned.
• Version 1.0b (April 1998)
  • Added .pif file and icon, to add the program at windows Start menu.
  • Info file in HTML format.

This program is shareware, so you can distribute it freely to whoever you want, on condition that all program components are distributed with it, without any modification. Besides the distribution must be gratis. There is no time limit at the utilization of this software. The author is not responsible for eventual damages caused by the program.

REGISTERING

At the moment this software is totally free, however its creation required many months of work, so if you like this game and use it often, you should think about registering, by sending me a little amount of money of 5 Euro, with your address (e-mail or snail-mail). In this way, you'll receive the future versions of Biliardo, and I'll be able to develop new games and programs.
