Re: [Algorithms] Target leading

[Timur D. <ti...@cr...>]

I think you can recalculate intersection point for every tick, so when
target change velocity vector or acceleration,
you recalc new intersection point and adjust direction of projectile
accordinally, this would look more or less like homing missle.
