Hoop Strategy Game

Hoop Strategy Game is basically a way to play basketball with a pen. To play the game, you draw a path for the ball to follow to get to the basket. The path can be any shape you want, but some shapes are more effective than others.

You do not have to draw a path from where the ball starts at the top left of the screen, but can draw a path anywhere within the drawing box. Figure 14.1 shows what a sample path looks like. This path seems to work almost regardless of where the basket is.
