# Creator Feature

X-Pool empowers players not only to compete, but to create. With an intuitive AI-assisted design system, players can generate custom pool cues, mint them as NFTs, and earn from their use in the broader game economy. This feature expands participation beyond gameplay, turning creators into stakeholders.

**AI-Powered Cue Designer**

Players can use $XPOOL to unlock access to a built-in, AI-enhanced design interface. This system enables users to:

* Input style prompts, keywords, or visual ideas to generate unique pool cue designs
* Fine-tune designs using mobile-friendly tools like color pickers, emblem placements, and material types
* Create without needing any prior technical or artistic experience

**Minting & Publishing**

Once a cue is finalized, the creator can mint it as an NFT and list it directly in the in-game marketplace. Players then:

* Choose a rarity tier (e.g., Common to Legendary)
* Assign cue attributes based on tier (e.g., spin, control, accuracy)
* Publish with the creator’s handle attatched

**Revenue Mechanics**

Custom cues can be purchased or rented by other players using $XPOOL. Smart contracts handle all distribution automatically:

* A share of the revenue goes directly to the cue’s original creator
* A small percentage is allocated to the X-Pool treasury to maintain economic balance

**Gameplay Integration**

Community-designed cues are more than cosmetic, they can influence gameplay:

* Attributes such as spin, power, control, and accuracy are available for each cue
* These traits are point-balanced by tier to prevent pay-to-win scenarios
* AI assistance can guide creators in assigning balanced stats
* Custom cues can be equipped in both staked and casual game modes

**Creator Loop At A Glance**

1. Player accesses the Cue Design Tool
2. Generates, customizes, and balances trait values
3. Mints and lists the cue on the Marketplace
4. Other players use or purchase the cue → creator earns $XPOOL
5. Popular cues gain prestige and surface more frequently in-game
