Thanks for trying it!
I decided to forego the full rules of pool in favour of a simpler "pot planets to get points" mechanic. So there is no 8 ball. Though it's a nice idea. The 8 ball could have been the only populated planet.
Sorry about the reset speed. It's waiting for the planets to fully stop rolling and rotating. All the planets have mass appropriate for their size, and some of them keep rotating imperceptibly for longer than I would like. ^^;
