Work through an example

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A common point of confusion

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
