How to play Bowling
Bowling gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. 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.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
