A simple 2d Projectile motion game. You can change the inital velocity, inital angle, and gravity values to aim a projectile and hit a target at random positions on the x axis. Earn points for hitting the target accurately. I used very basic projectile motion physics to make this an accurate simulation of a projectile fired without air resistance.

Projectile Motion Project
I made a projectile motion game in Python using Pygame. The player can change the launch angle, velocity, and gravity before firing a projectile at a moving target. The game uses real projectile motion equations and shows values like distance, height, speed, and flight time while the projectile is moving. I also added a scoring system, limited shots, an aim assist option, and a game over screen. This project helped improve my Python skills and my understanding of projectile motion.

Completed game fixed a few minor issues and made code compatable with the web.

Added a game over screen. Neatened code, fixed a few bugs. Game is now done

Made UI better and there are no ways around half points after using assist button

Improved layout of screen. Added a parabola trajectory to hit target easier but halves points earned if it is on. Game is basically done now might add some more things later.

Made a simple points system for where you hit the target. Improved the start and restart buttons, included a line to aim the projectile.

Have now made the target go to a random position on the x axis. the projectile now has a splash effect and I have made collision for if the projectile hits target.

Made a running loop so I can have a reset button. Fixed distance a time var displaying wrong values and they know change while inputting variables.

Improved layout of code and fixed a few minor errors but need to get the collision timing right otherwise variables arent accurate.

Just realised I started coding on a different file and I didnt link it so I couldnt post devlog. Heres my second one anyways. I finished the physics and made a load of buttons and text so for the inputs. I then fixed the timing so it moves close to real speed. Started making another end loops to display final vars and make a restart button. May make it into a game soon

I didn’t realise I had two files named very similar things so I couldnt post a devlog for while. Here’s my first one anyways. I spent all of yesterday re-learning 2d Porjectile motion and setting up equations for each variable. Then I set up the basic layout for pygame and system.
