Trajectory

Looking at formulas in physics to calculate trajectory of balistics.





Forumla: Angle to hit Co Ordinates (X,Y) where X = distance, and Y = Altitude.

A bot could use this formula to calculate the angle it would need to fire it's weapon at, in order to rocket jump to a reach a ledge or different area that is not connected with a path. When it finds a new path way using a rocket jump it could store the map Co Ordinates in a knowledgeable for future use.


I was also looking at maybe writing the bot in C++. I need to look at how exactly that would plug in to the existing game engine which is written in C. However, it may just be a lot simpler to code the bot in C.

I also need to start coming up with design prototypes soon enough. I need to narrow the focus of this project down to concentrate on one of the main ideas I had chosen in the project proposal and start from there.
