The power meter sets the shot strength - Provide an aim preview and enough precision when choosing power. - [Golf With Your Friends](https://store.steampowered.com/app/431240/) ## How it works Precision strikes set trajectories and later contacts, allowing planning through angle, force and surface properties. ## Variants ### Mechanic variants - Previews show a limited part of the path. - Force changes distance and rebounds. - Spin affects subsequent movement. - Sequential contacts open an indirect target route. ## Design example A ball first hits a rail to approach the target from an accessible side. Prototype check: Test previews against the selected collision model and state limits on long-range prediction. ## Context and limits Sports mechanics connect execution precision to space, participant state and understandable scoring conditions. Each overview separates player actions, state changes and alternative rules. Examples are hypothetical design scenarios, not claims about a named game. A prototype check states an observable question for the next iteration. Existing detailed references remain separately linked from the direction map. ## Connected materials - Sources in the selection: [Godot: physics introduction](https://gamemechanics.pro/en/resources/#resource-godot-physics) (key: resource/godot-physics) ## Sources and provenance Original bilingual editorial overviews authored for gamemechanics.pro on 2026-10-20 and reviewed on 2026-10-21.
