A practical guide to Bowling
Try Bowling at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
One thing to notice as you play
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you are aiming for
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Work through the instructions
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
A common point of confusion
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
