Understand the basics of Basketball Shooting

Read the aim of Basketball Shooting, then make your first move. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

One hoop, ten shots, gravity and rim/backboard collisions.

Try a more deliberate round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your objective

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Start here and follow along

  1. Set angle and power.
  2. Shoot.
  3. A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
  4. Adjust for another shot.

Controls

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

Work through an example

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

A useful caution

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
