Learn the rules of Basketball Shooting

A focus for your next round

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

Aim for this result

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.

The steps to play

  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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

One way to understand the rules

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.

A mistake to avoid

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
