Bowling: learn through an example
Bowling gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Give this approach a try
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
How a round unfolds
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Put the rules into context
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
A useful caution
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
