I made myself a formula using basic physics for striking the enemy in his exeact spot! (Without considering the wind power yet...)

My Formula appers on the picture (Which you can download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/1kguxk).

Thanks for the attention,
Eliran,

For what reason has this been ignored.

Maybe because the formula is hard to understand. :rolleyes:

Everlast already created a program for this I think.

A new member that has only posted this, seems kind of suspicious don't ya think?

Mind telling us what each letter is? Like what is P, and A?

Power and angle, presumably. Which would leave D as distance, though he doesn't list a unit of measure for it. And I'm still out as to what 'x' would be, as well as why he's given "cos² a" rather than "cos(a²)".

But then again, it's been a very long time since I last studied trigonometry.

Following the formula for a range of a projectile, its should be cos²a.

Instead of doing a long math problem, I think I'd rather just practice my shots.

+2 for being embarrassed about that ;)

Anyway, i have yet to do triginomatry so i can't use this formula, but i will... someday..

+6 for Zwaken.

Im guessing its based off post count, btw.

+Rep to Rex for pointing that out. (It was +6, so yeah, it's most likely based off of post count.)

This has become a +Rep fest.

Methinks higher rep gives higher rep.
Could be wrong.

04-18-2009, 11:03 PM
+ for +'in because of +'in

edit:never mind.... You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ekoz again.

Even for a thread based on math, that's a lot of pluses.
