Hey,

Can somebody please tell me how I can simulate a trajectory or projectile motion. I am building a game where a character is moving and as it gains momentum and moves up a slope, I want the character to launch it self.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Cheers!!

Look up `Euler integration'. You model your character/projectile/whatever as a point mass. In each frame, compute the sum of all the forces, compute acceleration (a vector) as force divided by mass, and then do this:

  velocity += acceleration * delta_time;
  position += velocity * delta_time;

If you want to do the same thing for rotations, the situation is similar, but make sure you understand this part first.
