OVERVIEW
When the simulation tells the cannon where to aim.
A Processing sketch simulates a projectile under gravity and wind; the user picks elevation and charge with sliders. The same numbers are then dialled into a 3D-printed miniature cannon that fires a 9 mm steel ball at the predicted target.
The interesting part wasn’t the ballistics — it was watching the physical world come within a few centimetres of the screen prediction.
