Hi Jason,
Yes, I picked a trivial example to mainly illustrate the API I'm working
with. The "Symbolism/Physics" module I use there can solve more complex
problems (more examples are on the github project page).
With a library like this, instead of selecting which equations to use, you
describe the object at a certain state:
var objA = new Obj();
objA.position.y = yA;
objA.velocity.y = Point.FromAngle(thA, vA).y;
objA.acceleration.y = -g;
objA.time = 0;
Then describe the object at a later state:
var objB = new Obj();
objB.position.y = yB;
And finally use a method to calculate the time elapsed:
Calc.Time(objA, objB, 1).Disp();
The 'Calc.Time' method figures out which equations to apply based on what
values are known. In my library, I indicate unknowns with the C# value
'null'.
