Calculating the Trajectory of a Grenade in a Video Game

by Michal Galus

Submitted : Fall 2009

Michal's project is to work with solving the trajectory of a grenade in a video game environment. This project consists of two parts. First part is to find the trajectory of the grenade and its rebounding force till the grenades final position can be determined. The second part is to figure out if the grenade will pass through a window that is placed in a certain location. For this project Michal is given the initial velocity of the grenade and the angle it was thrown at. In addition, Michal was given the location of the window, the height at which the grenade is thrown, and a few of the general motion equations.
