How to play Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful 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. Consider the next action carefully.
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
