How to Play & Controls
- Inspect the Green: Survey the distance to the cup, elevation change, and fairway contours.
- Set Power & Angle: Adjust your swing power slider and aim trajectory angle to calculate the optimal parabolic arc.
- Swing & Sink: Execute your shot and observe the ball physics. Sink the putt in as few strokes as possible!
Key Mathematical Concepts
- Quadratic Parabolic Modeling: Visualize how gravity ($g$) and initial velocity ($v_0$) shape the standard parabola $y = ax^2 + bx + c$.
- Trigonometric Angle Resolution: Resolve launch velocity vectors into orthogonal horizontal ($v_x = v\cos\theta$) and vertical ($v_y = v\sin\theta$) components.
- Optimization & Gradient Slope: Analyze terrain elevation gradients and friction coefficients to calculate optimal rolling distance.
