Bowling: from controls to your first round
Choose a round of Bowling and settle into its rules. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Practice with a purpose
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Keep this in mind
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
