The essentials of playing Basketball Shooting

Something to practise

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The purpose of your moves

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The steps to play

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

How to use the controls

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

One way to understand the rules

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
