This is Mot's 8-Ball Pool, a little pool simulation inspired by 3D pool on the C64 and Amiga.
Shoot a round of pool against a friend, or one of the 7 different AI characters.

The UI at the bottom of the screen shows how each player is progressing.
The player's name flashes when it is their turn.
The color they must sink is displayed next to their name, and the balls already sunk are displayed above.
A white ball indicates they have a free ball.

I'll assume you know the basic rules of 8-ball pool, so I'll just describe how the rules have been implemented.
The game uses a simplified set of rules:

Hope you enjoy it.
