Inkball is a computer game standard with Microsoft Windows Vista (since build 5381.1) and Microsoft Windows on tablet PCs. It employs the use of a stylus or mouse to draw lines to direct balls into holes of corresponding colors.

Game Blocks

The game includes such obstacles as: solid walls; colored walls that change the color of the ball upon impact; disappearing walls of differing colors that are eliminated upon impact with a ball of the correct color; one-way walls, which may be color-specific (color-filter walls); clock walls, which appear and disappear at certain intervals; keyhole walls, which appear and disappear when balls enter holes; ramps that make the ball accelerate.

Scoring

Colored balls have ranging point values for potting in the correct hole, as shown below:

Point Values
Color Value
1 Gray 0
2 Orange 200
3 Blue 400
4 Green 800
5 Gold 1600

The game is over when time runs out, or when a ball enters a hole of the wrong color.
