Shoot down a moving object

This is to respond to a forum post at http://actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=123006 posted by TOdorus. Quite good excerise for me. If my math teachers used Flash to teach me I think I wouldn’t hate them so much.

Click at the canon to shoot down the ship. It assumes the ship goes in straight line. If the ship turns back the bullet will miss it. I think it’s possible to expand the equation to handle all different movement, non-linear ones, as long as the ship moves according to a kown equation.

Read on to check the equations. >>source<<
