One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Reach eleven points with a two-point lead. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- Serve.
- Move the lower paddle under the ball.
- Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
- A missed return gives a point.
Input guidance
Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Try this example
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
