Flight Trajectories Demo

This demo contains two methods of calculating the movement of a projectile in flight. One is based on distances, the other on speeds. You can set the angle and power, as well as toggle between the two movement methods. The gold balls are run by the 'distance method' and the steel balls are run by the 'speed method'.

In their trajectories, none. In the way the movement is calculated, a lot.

Yes. The code is open source to view; and it is fairly well documented.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on Mon Nov 05 11:25:05 UTC 2012 Better documentation. Improved SwitchBar code.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on Sat Nov 10 13:10:33 UTC 2012 Added wind into the Speed method calculations.
