RE: [Algorithms] Target leading

[Idahosa E. <ida...@sw...>]

Excuse me for asking, but don't you WANT it to be thrown off. I am assuming
you are using this for a game and if I was playing you game and the
targeting was exactly correct for every case I would get extremely
frustrated.. unless you are using this for auto-aiming :)

Subject: [Algorithms] Target leading


Given a target moving with a constant (linear) velocity and an object firing
a projectile with a constant speed, I've managed to calculate the
intersection point.  However a target with a constant angular velocity (say
flying in a tight circle) throws the leading off completely.

So, can anyone suggest better methods for performing target
leading/prediction?  I know there is plenty of research on this, but most of
what I found on google/etc looked a little excessive -- or maybe that's just
from my lack of understanding it all.

Thanks,
-doug
