ProjectilePy 0.1.0

Simulate realistic projectile motion!

ProjectilePy

A python library aimed at simulating and solving projectile motion problems. Includes various methods for running accurate numerical discrete-time simulations, both with and without drag.

Features:

• Configurable drag or drag-less simulations for projectiles.
• Real world atmospheric data for improved accuracy with Newtonian drag.
• Itterative root finding methods for calculating firing solutions to targets.
• Easy to use simulator object class, with included examples.

Installation:

Currently the package is only availble from this repository.

In the future it may be published to the PyPi for easier installation.

Usage:

There are usage eamples in the src/examples folder, I encourage you to look through them for specific use cases.

1. Create a new intance of the simulator class passing the approapriate arguments to the constructor.
2. To run a straightforward simulation invoke the run() method on your simulator object.
3. To examine the results, either invoke the analysis methods (such as final_position or time_of_flight), or directly access the positionValues list for the raw x-y coordiante pairs.
