Calculating Trajectories

In this project, you will be introduced to some of the fundamental principles in the field of physics and how they are used to move objects around in the game environment. The relationships between time, velocity and acceleration will be investigated and then applied in the creation of an automated shooting tank that calculates the angle of it's turret based on parabolic mathematics and the position of an enemy.

In this tutorial students will learn about the parabola formed by projectile motion and use physics calculations to start programming an automatic attacking tank.  Next, students will complete the programming of the AI tank by adding Unity physics back on the shells and automatically controlling when the tank shoots through code.
