Python and Equations

[Resonator]

Hi All,

My first post here, have been reading and searching through the forums (and google) but have not found an answer I'm looking for.

I am building a trajectory simulator with the BGE, which will be the basis of a larger project that I will be moving on to.

I have been going through a few basic Python tutorials so far, and am getting somewhere with regards to basic scripting.

I would like to know if this below is possible to do with Python and Blender.



Sorry image is a png, so not displaying properly, direct link here http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/9/8/9/ ... 9b2806.png

And website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory ... 28x.2Cy.29

Where the user would input the values in a UI field for v, x and y and the answer (theta) would be displayed.

I have seen pure quadratic equations being done for Python, can't find anything about how to get it right in the BGE.

Many thanks and regards,
Chris

Math is math. You can do it in Python. But for heavy lifting, you might want to look into Numpy. Or even Scipy if you are feeling exotic.
