HTML\/Javascript Visual Change Drop Punt Game Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you love the game of Australian Rules<\/a>? Even if you don’t, are you interested in the art of kicking the Australian Rules football (most famously, the “Sherrin<\/a>“)? Haven’t heard of any great players that do not agree on the drop punt being the most effective kick to use these days, but even though it might be more reliable than any drop kick or other kicking idea, it can still be hard to get right, and today’s tutorial is not pretending it is at all easy, but plays the “behind the scenes” idealized physics behind kicking the ball. The game pares it all down to an elevation angle of your initial contact with the football and a metres\/second velocity that you kick the ball. All that being the way it is, and the world has no drag, nor friction, and is straight (no fights in Kings Cross, methinks?<\/a>), how far will the football go, and how high will it go? You’ll be pleased to hear that we have no bias here at RJM Programming, and there is no Collingwood<\/a> positive bias applied to users who are of that persuasion.<\/p>\n

Hope you get some interest out of today’s drop punt kicking game<\/a> building on previous HTML\/Javascript Visual Drop Punt Game Tutorial<\/a> as shown below, by agreeing with that adage that every three pictures is worth three thousand words<\/i>, by adding<\/a> a Google Scatter Chart<\/a> and (if on two or more passes within a session), adding<\/a> a Google Scatter Difference Chart<\/a>, to show the “fantasy” drop punt kick trajectory comparisons (height scales are exaggerated) in visual form, with the idea that comparing Scatter Charts can help the kicker get a feel for how to tweak their kick to get a better result (for the scientifically minded players … whyyyyyyyyyyyyy iz it sssoooooooooo?<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Three links, in particular, helped, so, thanks:<\/p>\n
