Features:-
Note that courts are scaled according to croquet laws for the various disciplines. Balls are larger than life (so you can see and move them).
Data Privacy:- To simplify compliance with web privacy regulations, this site does NOT use any 'cookies', nor does it store any data on your device.
As such, you cannot permanently store any ball positions you have set up for retrieval during a later session (unless you leave the browser and tab open).
However, you could take screen shots of positioned balls for use in other contexts.
You could also open the site in multiple browser tabs - each of which can show progressive ball positions during a course of play or a break.
Happy hooping!
