Learn the rules of Bowling
Bowling gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
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
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The steps to play
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Where a round can go wrong
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
