What counts as success

Work through the instructions
- Serve.
- Move the lower paddle under the ball.
- Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
- A missed return gives a point.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example to follow
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
