Prompt 1:
I lost the game several times before I figured out a way to win it. The movements of the balls are definitely the uncertain element that makes me unsure of victory. There are 15 balls that roll in different directions in every try, as the player, I can’t predict which way these balls will go. Also, their speed is very fast, and it seems impossible to avoid them. I did doubt my physical skill because it is so hard to adjust to the movement/speed at the beginning. Everything happened too fast, and I didn’t have time to process what happened or think of any strategy. Later on, I found a good strategy to avoid the balls: trying to stay as still as I can on the edge. I figured out that if I am constantly moving, there’s no doubt I will get hit by the ball. However, if I stay on the edge, there’s a chance that the balls will hit the edge at an angle that doesn’t affect me. As I mentioned before, the movements of the balls are the source of randomness. I believe that it is also the source of extra complexity, and the limited “hiding” space is also an additional source of extra complexity. The movements of the balls are hard to perceive, and they move too fast to react to. Overall, I think it is a challenging game to play. Once the player gets a sense of what is going on, it is not too difficult to come up with a strategy.
