Take a closer look while playing
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A closer look at one example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
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.
