Gameplay is derived from a pool hall . The player can move between the main hallway, the snooker room, and the pool room. They can leave the game they were playing, and walk around the room, and begin other games without ending the earlier game they were playing. Cueball features a "BeeCam" option, which can be activated at any time. It follows an animated bee flying around the rooms serving as a cutscene to view the entire room. In the two games rooms, it has multiple routes. The player can explore the in-game world, referred to as "Jimmy White's House", which the in-game manual describes as "a mock-up of the kind of house Jimmy White probably lives in." The game features single-player and local multiplayer . A number of features from Whirlwind Snooker were improved upon for Cueball , most notably the graphical engine . The game uses a 3D accelerator card enabling the player to peruse the table and the entire snooker or pool room . The shadows and reflections of the balls are rendered in much more detail, as are the cushions and pockets . The computer player (represented by a pair of disembodied hands in white gloves) can be viewed from any angle while taking a shot ; these hands also visibly replace the coloured and cue ball once potted . Numerous items within the snooker and pool rooms are interactive . Some of them, such as the dartboard and draughts table, are mini-games . An arcade machine in the pool room features a fully playable version of Dropzone , one of Archer Maclean 's earliest games. The pool room is a bar / diner featuring a jukebox and fruit machine . The game has a full classical soundtrack that can be controlled by the jukebox. The game, like its predecessor, features comic elements. Should the computer player lay a particularly nasty snooker , an evil laugh is heard. Taking too long over a shot will send the computer player into a fit of sarcastic coughing. A soundbite of Homer Simpson exclaiming " D'oh !" is heard when a player pockets the cue-ball.
