Interactive: Quadratics Angry Birds

[plegner]

An Angry Birds-style game, that shows how projectiles follow a parabolic path.

Students have a slingshot at position (0, 0) and have to hit specific targets at other positions (fish?). You should be able to hide or show a coordinate system overlay.

The game should be a configurable custom webcomponent that can be used in two different settings:

• An exploratory version, where students drag a slingshot and can experiment with different angles and initial velocities.
• A static version where students have to calculate the equation for the required parabola that goes through two points. Upon finding the correct equation, play the slingshot animation.

(at first I was confused because I was doing a "pull" instead of a "push". The interactive will need to guide the user to do the right things.)
