Journal Journal: Physics-Math-Programming question 9

Journal by insanecarbonbasedlif on Saturday February 24, 2007 @04:58PM

Due to my incredible laziness, I need some help. I want to make a tank battle type of game - you know, along the vein of Gorilla, Scorched Earth, or Worms, so I set about starting to write it. But, after doing a read over of a wiki article on trajectory calcutions, I realized that my math is rusty enough that it thoroughly confuses me, so I was hoping some of you all could help me with it. I'd really like some formula which I

New Technology Could Lead To 3D Printers 62

nomoreself writes "PhysicsWeb reports that a team of scientists in Jerusalem has come up with a method for creating self-assembling 3-dimensional models from a single sheet of paper. The 'chemical origami' is created by etching a pattern of monomer onto the paper and then heating it. The chemical's reaction to the heat causes bends of varying degree in the paper, molding the sheet into the patterned model. A professor in the US with no apparent ties to the study says in the article that the technique could be used to create self-assembling prototypes, or even a printer that prints 3D objects."
