# HighStriker

**Tier:** 2-Intermediate

|
|
|

|
|
Carnivals and circuses have featured the HighStriker sideshow game since at
|
||
|
|
least the 1930's. This game consists of a tower with a bell mounted at the top
|
||
|
|
and a levered platform at the bottom. When the levered platform is struck with
|
||
|
|
a mallet it causes a puck to travel up a track attached to the tower.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the platform is struck the puck travels vertically up the track. If hit

hard enough the puck will ring the bell, signifying a winner.

The objective of the Highstriker app is to simulate this carnival
|
||

|
game. Instead of physical force to move the puck up the track use an algorithm
|
||
|
|
of your own design and a random number generator to determine the puck's
|
||
|
|
speed and the distance it travels.
