The order of play

Using the playing area

A useful example
An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
You cannot move into the computer’s half. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
