python main.py
User inputs two vector velocities (in m/s), vertical (y) and horizontal (x). These two vectors get added together following the laws of vector addition.
The cannon ball moves accordingly to the resulting vector velocity. Simulation is NOT in real time though distances traveled (upward and forward) are accurate. One pixel on screen represents one meter in real life -> instant coordinates of the cannon ball are coordinates the ball would have in the real world ([100; 150] -> the cannon ball is 100 meters above the ground and 150 meters far from the point from which it was shot)
- Note: Air resistance is NOT added (yet, still on it!) thus distances are accurate to the point when air is added
We're shooting from point with coordinates [0: 0]. White square (the cannon ball) flies from that point to the right. One square on the grid has dimensions 25 x 25 pixels (meters). In the left top corner is information about the position of the cannon ball (distance, height, and top height). Small red squares represent the movement of the cannon ball on each axes.
Program is written in Python 3.10 using Python Turtle library.
- User input on two vector velocities; vx0 and vy0
- Definition of all the objects on the screen (screen included)
- Using equations for flight in a gravitational field to make the cannon ball move accordingly
- While loop where the cannon ball coordinates and everything else gets updated. This while loop has break when y coordinate of the cannon ball is lower than 0
- Another while loop to keeep the screen going after the first while loop finishes (cannon ball hits the ground)
