How to play
Basics
The goal of this game is to shoot the ball into the basket. To shoot
you have to leftclick inside the ball and drag the mouse. You will see
a line from the middle of the ball to the mouse pointer. When you leave
the mouse button, the ball will start moving in the direction of the line.
The length of the line indicates the starting velocity. The ball bounces
back from the left, the right and the bottom wall and from the ring of
the basket. There is no ceiling. When you manage to shoot the ball into
the basket, the ball stays there. Click somewhere inside the applet to
go on. What happens depends on the mode of the applet.
Cheating
You can move the ball by right clicking it and dragging the mouse. But
dragging the ball into the basket is not allowed.
Sound
Clicking the speaker icon toggles the sound on and off.
Modes
The applet has four different modes, demo mode,
game mode, link mode and two
player mode.
Demo mode
In demo mode you can train your shootings. Clicking somewhere after
shooting the ball into the basket, let the ball simple fall down. See the
example below:
Game mode
In game mode your shots and your hits will be count. Clicking somewhere
after shooting the ball into the basket, puts the ball somewhere on the
floor. See the example.
Link mode
In link mode you can enter a new location by shooting the ball into
the basket. Clicking somewhere after shooting the ball into the basket,
let the browser switch to the specified link. See
the example
on my homepage.
Two player mode
In two player mode there are to baskets. The hits for each basket will
be count independently. Clicking after shooting the ball into the basket,
puts the ball somewhere on the floor. See the example.
