A focus for your next round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

The playing sequence

An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Keep this in mind
You cannot move into the computer’s half. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
