Practice Mode is the core learning environment of the Entrenador de Carambola Guiada. When you select a play from the Selecciona la carambola dropdown, the app immediately loads the calibrated ball positions for that play, draws the master route on the table, and activates the magnetic aim assist — giving you a complete guided training loop for each of the 148 available three-cushion plays (001–079 and 081–149).Documentation Index

How Practice Mode Works
Selecting a Play
Choose a play number from the Selecciona la carambola dropdown at the top of the screen. The moment you make a selection:- The three balls (white, yellow, red) are placed at the calibrated starting positions for that play.
- The master route appears on the table as a persistent green luminous band with a yellow dashed line overlaid on top. Both the green band and the yellow line trace the exact same master path — they are not two separate calculations.
- The power resets to 5%, so you must judge and manually set the required shot strength before shooting.
- The Demostración button becomes available for that play.
The Master Route
The master route is extracted directly from the reference image (recorrido_guia.webp) for each play. It remains permanently visible on the table, even while the balls are rolling and even after you shoot — it serves as a continuous reference for study and comparison.
If you manually change the cue direction, power, effect, or ball positions, the green band hides itself, leaving only the free physics predictive guide. This signals that you have moved away from the master trajectory and the shot will use real physics from your current aim.
Magnetic Aim Assist
When your predictive aim guide gets close enough to the master route — matching direction, position, and ball alignment — the yellow line snaps onto the route. This is the magnetic assist. If you then press Tirar, the app applies a gentle physical correction to your shot (adjusting exit angle, power, and effect) so that the ball follows the master trajectory using the real physics engine. The magnetic assist disengages immediately if you:- Manually move the cue handle
- Change the power
- Adjust the effect dot
- Reposition any ball
Neon Illumination
The shot guide illuminates with a neon cyan/violet flash when the predictive guide anticipates a carambola of 3 or more cushions. In Practice Mode, illumination also fires when your predictive guide coincides or nearly coincides with the master route. The illumination is predictive — it appears before you shoot, not as a celebration after the fact.Scoreboard
The built-in scoreboard tracks three counters across your entire session:| Counter | Label | What it tracks |
|---|---|---|
| Puntos | Points | Valid carambolas (white ball hits 3+ cushions then the second object ball) |
| Intentos | Attempts | Every press of Tirar |
| Bandas | Cushions | Total cushions accumulated across all shots |
Practice Mode Buttons
| Button | Spanish Label | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Shoot | Tirar | Fires real physics; counts as one attempt. Valid carambola adds a point. |
| Demo | Demostración | Plays the exact reference route; no score, no attempt |
| Repeat Shot | Repetir tiro | Restores ball positions to just before the last shot |
| Watch Replay | Ver replay | Replays the last shot’s full motion |
| Video | Videotutorial | Opens the video modal, synchronized to the start of the selected play |
| Instructions | Instrucciones | Opens the step-by-step shot guidance modal |
Recommended Practice Workflow
Select a play
Choose a play number from the Selecciona la carambola dropdown. The master route and calibrated ball positions appear immediately.
Watch the Videotutorial
Click Videotutorial to open the reference video, which jumps directly to the position and route segments of the selected play.
Study the Demostración
Click Demostración to watch the master trajectory animate on the table. Use this to memorize the cushion contact points and the final arrival at the second object ball.
Aim your cue, set effect and power
Drag the cue handle to aim. Drag the blue effect dot on the cue ball image to set your spin. Pull the cue back to increase power beyond the initial 5%.
Press Tirar
Fire the real physics shot. Check whether you scored a valid carambola (3+ cushions). The scoreboard updates immediately.
Play 080 is disabled. The reference images (
posicion_inicial_080.webp, recorrido_guia_080.webp, and guia_referencia_080.png) do not exist for this play. The dropdown shows play 080 as an unavailable option so the numbering sequence is clear — it is not a gap or an error.
