[b]Basic operation[/b][br][br]Click “[b][i]New Trial[/i][/b]” to position the shooter (the shooter will be placed randomly on the half-field).[br][br]Through the sliders adjust the parameters “[math]\alpha[/math]” (horizontal direction), “[math]\phi[/math]” (vertical inclination) and “‍v[sub]0‍[/sub]” to direct the shoot to the basket.[br][br]Alternatively, in [i]training mode[/i], you can use the buttons to automatically set the parameters:[br][br]"set [math]\alpha[/math]": will set the right horizontal direction [br]"set [math]\phi[/math]": will set the right vertical slope of the shoot (given the actual value of v[sub]0‍[/sub]) [br]"set v[sub]0‍" [/sub]: will set the right speed of the shoot (given the actual value of [math]\phi[/math]).  [br][br]Click “[b][i]Shoot[/i][/b]” to start the animation.[br][br]See the result and repeat the operation,[br]In [i]game mode[/i] a countdown timer will be started so that different player can compare their score (in the set time).[br]A good player will be rather quick in finding the right parameters at each new trial, so having the opportunity to make many shots before the time expires.[br]Yet he must not be too hasty to loose accuracy in adjusting the trajectory parameters and have many failing shots.[br]The right compromise between quickness and accuracy will produce the highest scores.[br](In game mode the aids provided by the automatic settings of the parameters should be ignored).[br][br][b]Note[/b]: given complexity of the simulation it's advisable to download the .ggb file and run it through the Geogebra desktop program. The web app may be rather slow and jerky. [br]Here's a short demo video on youtube: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycGkTQHJtuU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycGkTQHJtuU[/url][br][br]
