How to play Basketball Shooting

Open Basketball Shooting, check the instructions and begin a round. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
