Isn't one of the tech demos a pool game?

Screenshots of the pool demo were posted ages ago, but I don't think the demo has actually been released yet.

Yes you definately can- pretty much if you can program it, you can do almost anything in TGB.

You could easily approximate the a shadow by putting an image sprite w/ alpha channel for transparency underneath the pool ball.

You could use a .dts shape for the pool balls, but you would have to control the rolling & orientation of the ball with script.

Overall it would be much easier to implement such a game in TGB than TGE, in my opinion.
