Why this is more than a tap-to-score game
Basketball Shot uses a small deterministic physics engine rather than a hidden random result. Your swipe creates launch speed and angle, gravity shapes the arc, wind moves the ball, and the ball can strike either rim or the backboard before dropping. A clean make without contact is recorded as a swish; bank shots and rim makes are identified separately.
Controls
- Touch / mouse: press anywhere on the court, swipe in the direction you want to launch, then release.
- Keyboard: ←/→ adjust angle, ↑/↓ change power and Space shoots.
- Practice Lab: set any distance from 2.5–9 m and keep shooting without a score limit.
