very cool! thanks for all the help dacruick.

not much, I've studied and programmed velocity, acceleration, and gravitational force before, but that's about it. in the distance equation, what does the 0.5 represent?

interesting, is there a specific name/equation for doing these types of calculations?

oh sorry. i meant rotation of the canon itself (as if it were on a 360 degree swivel), so that it will point directly towards the next target. the ball will always follow a straight path to the target.

there will be no wind resistance. however, in terms of rotation if my canon was located at (300,200,0) and i had two targets, one at (350,250,0) and the other at (150,150,0) i was wondering if there is also a way to calculate the proper rotation to hit each target (one at a time).

Hi, Im currently working on a video game, and have come to an aspect that I'm very unsure about (I'm self taught in most of my game physics knowledge, so there are quite a few gaps). Let's say there is an environment with no features that act on objects except for gravity (or simply no wind...
