Basketball Shooting: learn through an example

A focus for your next round

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 objective of a round

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

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

How your actions work

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Put the rules into context

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. Look for the relevant detail.

Pay attention to this rule

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
