Bert Blyleven was always my fave for the curveball, but that was a couple of years ago now. :-)
-
There is tons of physics in video games, and finding good designers/programmers with strong physics background is, I hear, an ongoing challenge in the field.

Nicely summarized. If you fail at something (and we all do at times), there are three things you should do about it:
- Admit it
- Learn from it
- Don't repeat it
Learning to fail productively is a very important skill in life... and it looks like we're well on our way to learning how to do just that!

Welcome aboard eclark! The good news about tests in our AP-C class... even if they don't go well, you can learn from them and retake them (each one up to 3 retakes!). You also have that nice blog score bonus of 100/100 if you keep writing good reflections each week. Thrilled to have you in the class...
-
Looking forward to learning more about video game physics!
-
I understand being nervous about the videos, but try to think of it this way -- in what other classes do you have an instructor available to help you for 42 minutes each day?
-
I wouldn't worry too much about all-nighters... if you do your work a bit each night, it's really not that bad.
-
Your thoughts on the best curveball in baseball?
-
Nice try Shadoof, but a reflective comment adding something to the conversation would be helpful.

You're not just getting close to taking a college class in AP-C... you are taking a college class. Two of 'em, actually!

TONS of physics in video games -- looking forward to learning more about it!

Hang in there Skylor -- another week or two and things will tend to sort themselves out!
-
We're all making it up as we go -- don't fret!
-
There is quite a bit of work in the class, but I think it gets to be more enjoyable as you get more comfortable with the independent nature of the course. Good luck!
-
Nice first blog post, and a very amusing video as well -- cool!

What age group do you think this series is targeted toward? Sounds like a fun series for my girls when they get a bit older...
-
You might enjoy the Odyssey One sci-fi series of books by Evan Currie, starting with "Into the Black." If you have Amazon Prime, it's Kindle version (read on your phone) is free, and besides including a nifty perspective on futuristic space combat, a Dyson Sphere plays a major role in the series plot line. First couple books in the series are pretty good reads.

I've always found this effect fascinating. I'm easily amused, but it's still fascinating!

An absolutely heart-wrenching finish...
-
Wow! That looks uber hard.
-
(Faster also means more fun when you're older...)

Tons of great physics with swings. I love putting my little girls on swings beside each other and seeing if they can figure out how to out-race the other (recognizing, of course, the swings are basically pendulums and only the length of the swing affects the period.) No matter how hard she tries, the little one on the longer swing (closer to the ground) can never win...

I'll have to cut back on my wheelie addiction...

So what went wrong with the first set of calculations?
