Learn the rules of Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. 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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The challenge in front of you
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
Input guidance
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Notice this detail
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
