Bowling Score API
Ten-pin bowling maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the scoring, handicap and average numbers a bowler, league or scoring app runs on. The score endpoint plays a full game from a comma list of the pins knocked down on each roll and applies the real rules: a strike scores 10 plus your next two rolls, a spare 10 plus the next one, an open frame just the pins, with the 10th frame’s bonus rolls handled — so twelve strikes is a perfect 300, twenty 9-then-miss frames are 90, and all spares with a 5 bonus is 150, returned frame by frame with the running total. The handicap endpoint levels a league: handicap per game = ⌊(basis − average) × percent⌋, never below zero, so a 150 average on the common 90 %-of-220 setup earns 63 pins a game and 189 over a three-game series. The average endpoint divides total pins by games (dropping the fraction, as leagues do), rolls in a new series to update it, and works out the pins you need over the next games to reach a target average. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for bowling-league, scoring, sports and recreation app developers, scorekeeping and handicap tools, and centre-management software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.
