Take a break and shoot some hoops on your dashboard

If you’re a big basketball fan then this simple but addictive widget allows you to play a little ball while sat at your Mac.

To aim and shoot the ball, simply extend the black line going from your mouse cursor to the basket.

The further you stretch it, the further the ball travels. Note that the default settings are quite sensitive but their are options to increase the amount of gravity (to slow-down the ball) and also play sounds.

Once you hit a basket, the net will switch to the other side of the screen to test your skills again.

Shoot the ball into the basket and try to hit as many as possible. Control the angle and force to shoot. This is a fun way to kill time at the office or on your Mac at home.
