An Eight Ball pool strategy algorithm with look-ahead is presented. The strategy uses a probabilistically evaluated game search tree to discover the best shot to attempt at each turn. Performance results of the strategy algorithm from a simulated tournament are presented. Players looking further ahead in the search tree performed better against their shallower-searching competitors, at the expense of larger execution time. The advantage of a deeper search tree was magnified for players with greater shooting precision. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
