Orientation

Five pin bowling. A circular bowling area with a ball in the centre on a sort of trough to aim and roll it down. The things at the edge are bowling pins (honest!).

Five pins are placed at random 10° intervals. The child enters a number and, when they press GO, the machine turns clockwise that number of degrees and releases the ball. The ball rolls to the edge of the playing area and either knocks a pin off or just drops off the edge. The balls played and pins hit counters update accordingly.

After each ball, the trough is reset to 'north' and the number pad reset to zeros.

The child has five balls to attempt to hit all five pins. RESET sets up a new game with the pins in different places.
