A closer look at one example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

A drained ball cannot be rescued. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
