Understand the basics of Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Practice with a purpose
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.
Your objective
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See how the rules apply
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
A useful caution
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
