PLAYING GUIDE
Five baskets from ten attempts
You have ten shots and need at least five baskets to win. Each basket scores two points. The summary describes the attempt count, not a requirement to score all ten. A score of ten points is therefore enough for the five-basket win condition.
Change one setting at a time
Angle and power influence the same trajectory. If the ball is short, try a small power adjustment while keeping the angle fixed. If the arc is poorly shaped for entering the hoop, keep power fixed while experimenting with angle. Changing both after every miss makes it difficult to learn from the result.
Watch the downward crossing
A basket counts when the ball passes down through the hoop. Touching the hoop on the way up is not enough. Rim and backboard rebounds remain in play, so let the ball finish before judging the shot or trying again.
Make a repeatable shot
Once a setting gives a clean basket, repeat it before trying a more ambitious trajectory. Use a fresh round to compare the number of baskets rather than the height of the arc. These controls describe this browser game; they are not a model for real basketball technique.
