Module Advice - mwatson87 - May-23-2018
Hi All,
I am looking for some advice on modules suitable for modelling spherical projectiles in a 3D space. Coding the physics is not the issue, however using modules to display the output is very new to me.
So far VPython (v7.4.4) seems to be perfect, however, I cannot get it working with my prefered editor Spyder (v3.2.8). I input a very basic two liner upon installing VPython as a quick test...
from vpython import * sphere()...And nothing happens.
I am probably missing something massively fundamental when it comes to integrating VPython and Spyder, but hey, I'm here to learn! Any advice on this would be great!
Thanks,
Martin

Here's a complete example of modeling the motion of a baseball in flight (including code, and why used) that may help: http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~akl2/Phys0174/files/Baseball.pdf
