How to play Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
