How to Play Basketball Shooting

THE PLAYBOOK · DOORSL

The essentials of playing Basketball Shooting

Choose a round of Basketball Shooting and settle into its rules. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

A focus for your next round

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you are aiming for

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.

Input guidance

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.

See how the rules apply

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

A common point of confusion

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
