How to play Basketball Shooting

Start Basketball Shooting by looking at the playing area and its controls. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

A careful first round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

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

Controls

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
