In this chapter, we cover the following:
Maintaining a list of objects to draw on the screen
Rotating objects drawn on the screen
Mouse drag-and-drop operations
Calculations to simulate ballistic motion (effects of gravity) and collisions
Introduction
This chapter demonstrates another example of animation
, in this case simulation of ballistics, also called
projectile motion
. A ball or ball-like object maintains a constant horizontal (x) displacement, with the vertical displacement changing as it would due to gravity. ...
