What Makes This Tutorial Different
Unlike basic game tutorials that just move sprites around, we're implementing:
Real physics calculations for projectile motion
Accurate collision detection between objects
Different material properties (wood vs glass)
Chain reaction physics when objects collide
Level progression with increasing complexity
Technical Implementation Highlights
Projectile physics using requestAnimationFrame for smooth animation
Collision system that handles both direct and indirect hits
Dynamic trajectory prediction while aiming
Game state management for scoring and level progression
Performance optimization for smooth gameplay
Key Learning Points
Throughout this tutorial, you'll master practical game development concepts:
Converting mouse movement into launch velocity
Calculating and displaying trajectory paths
Implementing realistic collision responses
Managing game state without overcomplication
Creating challenging level layouts
Optimizing performance for smooth animations
