Basketball Shooting: what to know before playing

Choose a round of Basketball Shooting and settle into its rules. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

One hoop, ten shots, gravity and rim/backboard collisions.

Something to practise

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

The goal to keep in mind

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

From the start of a round

  1. Set angle and power.
  2. Shoot.
  3. A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
  4. Adjust for another shot.

Using the playing area

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an example

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

Notice this detail

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
