Thread: Mistake in formula?

Hello everyone!

I have to make a tank-game in Java for school
Obviously the tank should be able to shoot, in a parabola
Our teacher provided us with the formula to calculate the y-coordinate for by looping through a given amount of x-coordinates
Printscreen of the formula: formule.png

G = 9.81 m/s^2 (gravitation constant)
alpha = the angle under which the shot is fired
v0 is the power of the shot
w = the wind
x = the x-value of the map
y0 = y-value of the tank
y = path of bullet

Now, I *tried* to convert it to Java and I came up with this:

coord.setY(
(int)
(((-G/2) / Math.pow(power * Math.cos(angle) - wind, 2) * Math.pow(currentX, 2)) + ((currentX * Math.sin(angle)) / (Math.cos(angle) - (wind / power))) + tankPosition.getY())
);

I've put it in a loop and add the coord object to an arraylist so I get the path of the bullet

If I for example enter an angle of 20 and power of 30, this would be the content of the arraylist:

X - Y
160 - -13778
161 - -13950
162 - -14123
163 - -14296
164 - -14471

194 - -20199
195 - -20406
196 - -20613
197 - -20822
198 - -21032
199 - -21243
200 - -21455

203 - -22098
204 - -22314
205 - -22531
206 - -22749
207 - -22969
208 - -23189
209 - -23410

Did I do something wrong in converting the formula to java or something? :/

Thanks for your time!



Actual code:

public ArrayList<Coord> createPath(int power, int angle, int wind, Coord tankPosition) {
    final double G = 9.81;
    Coord coord;
    boolean shouldStop = false;
    ArrayList<Coord> list = new ArrayList<>();
    int currentX = tankPosition.getX();
    while (!shouldStop) {
        coord = new Coord();
        coord.setX(currentX);
        coord.setY((int) (((-G / 2) / Math.pow(power * Math.cos(angle) - wind, 2) * Math.pow(currentX, 2)) + ((currentX * Math.sin(angle)) / (Math.cos(angle) - (wind / power))) + tankPosition.getY()));  
        list.add(coord);
        currentX++;
        if (isOutOfBounds(coord) || isCollision(coord))
            shouldStop = true;
    }
    return list;
}

Thanks for your time!
