How to play Basketball Shooting
Make Basketball Shooting your next activity in the game library. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.
One hoop, ten shots, gravity and rim/backboard collisions.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Step by step
- Set angle and power.
- Shoot.
- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Controls
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
