Precue is the prediction engine for 8-ball. It reads the whole table, plans the run-out three shots ahead and plays with the touch and timing of a pro. Auto-queue picks the table that pays best for your coins and racks the next game as soon as one ends.

Prediction
Before every stroke, Precue plays out hundreds of futures: each ball, each pocket, three speeds and three spins. It keeps the shot that pots this ball and leaves the cue ball in line for the next two.
Play style
Precue combines smooth aim, steady pacing and natural pauses with the shot choices of a strong player. Harder shots get more thought; easy ones keep their rhythm. Other engines can rush through repetitive inputs that look robotic and are easier for opponents to spot and report.
Position for the 6-ball
Undetectable
Other engines read the table. Precue also reads the anti-cheat. It scans every request the game makes and every call Anybrain’s SDK fires, then kills them in the gap between the table and the server. Nothing gets out.
Precue sits between the game and Anybrain. Every request the game makes and every call the SDK fires is read on the way out and matched against the anti-cheat’s signature.
Heartbeats, shot telemetry and behaviour challenges are killed in memory before they leave the device. The server gets a clean session and never knows anything was missing.
Humanised input is the last layer. Aim moves inside human limits, tempo stretches on the hard shots and practice strokes land before the cue. Unlike other engines, it never sends a perfect stream for a model to flag.

Auto-queue
Auto-queue compares your coin balance with every table’s entry fee, joins the one that earns the most per game and racks the next game as soon as one ends. Every table is played against AI opponents, and they get tougher as the entry fee goes up.
Best for 18,400 coins: the most per game you can cover with 3 entry fees held back.
How it works
The same four steps run on every turn, in the order a good player runs them in their head.
Every ball position, the cloth speed and the cushion response, captured each frame.
Hundreds of candidate shots run through a full physics model: speed, spin, throw and every rail.
Each future is scored the way a pro thinks: make percentage, cue-ball shape and what’s left on the table.
The stroke goes down with human timing: a look, a couple of practice strokes, then the shot.
Inside the engine
Every part of Precue comes from the way strong players read a table, from spin to safeties, and from knowing exactly what the anti-cheat is looking for.
Change your cue to any cue in the game. Choose from over 1,200 cues, including animated cues. Find your favourite and make it yours at the table.
Follow, draw and side spin bend the cue ball off the tangent line the way they do on a real table. Drag the chalk mark to move the tip; the dashed ring is the miscue limit.
Line blocked? It works out the rail-first route with the diamond system, then checks it in the physics model.
When the run-out isn’t on, it hides the cue ball and hands you the problem.
Picks break speed and cue-ball position for the rack in front of it, then plays the spread.
Every request and SDK call the game fires is scanned on the way out. Anything carrying Anybrain’s signature is killed in place, and the server hears nothing.
Smooth aim, steady speed and natural pauses. Precue takes time over difficult shots, giving its play a more human feel.
Quick on the easy ones, deliberate on the hard ones, and it never runs the clock out.
No anti-cheat calls, no machine tells. A Precue session looks exactly like a person at the table, because that is all the server ever sees.

Precue is the engine inside our 8-ball game. It powers shot prediction, the AI opponents at every table, auto-queue and Cue Changer, with over 1,200 cues to choose from, including animated cues. New features plug into it as they ship.
Precue plans a pattern, moves the aim smoothly and keeps a steady rhythm with natural pauses. It takes more time on difficult shots, uses pocket speed and plays safe when a run-out is unlikely. Other engines can use abrupt movements and repetitive, rushed timing that look robotic and are easier for opponents to spot and report.
On every turn it simulates hundreds of shot options and plans three shots deep. The lines on the table are the paths it expects each ball to take.
Switch it on and pick a mode. Best table compares your coin balance with every table’s entry fee and joins the one that earns the most per game. Set table keeps playing one table you choose. Every table is played against AI opponents, and the next game starts as soon as one ends. Switch it off any time.
No. Precue updates itself for every new game version, so it’s ready as soon as the update is out.
Yes. Cue Changer lets you change your cue to any cue in the game, including animated cues. There are over 1,200 cues to choose from.
Yes. We’re constantly adding new features to Precue. Sign up below and we’ll email you when each one lands.
No. Precue scans every request and every SDK call the game makes. Anything that belongs to Anybrain, including heartbeats, shot telemetry and behaviour challenges, is killed before it leaves the device. The anti-cheat only ever sees a clean session.
