Cut induced throw and spin induced throw

[st4ycool]

Hey hey. As I noticed, there is no deflection on a cue ball, when I try maximum side spin.

I recreated this setup: https://youtu.be/h_x1XPqVBIM?t=90
and got totally different results.

I want to contribute, but I am terrible with physics. Could you give a direction on where to start from?

edit: sorry title is a little bit misleading.

Currently there is no cut-induced throw, spin-induced throw, or cue deflection from off-center hits.

If you want to contribute, you should read this markdown file. If you're terrible with physics, that might be a problem, but all pull requests are welcome!

@ekiefl so nicely written manual! Thank you. But what about cut-induced throw, spin-induced throw, or cue deflection from off-center hits, how do you evaluate their complexity? Which one will be the easiest to start from?

[ekiefl]

Deflection is probably easiest.

Rather than using a physically derived model, you could write a heuristic based model that feels right. The more side spin, the more deflection.

Cut- and spin-induced throw was introduced in #153 and cue ball deflection (squirt) was introduced in #139 🥳
