Shoot the Monkey (Classic)


Learn about projectile motion by firing directly towards a falling target (in this case balloons are flung at a monkey). The velocity and position (both horizontal and vertical) of the projectile can be manipulated, and the target begins to fall at the same time the projectile is fired.
