Homing Missile Example

[Ryan]

calebfig asked the question of homing missiles in this post

The problem is smooth rotations towards an enemy, rather than instant direction changes. I gave it my best shot in my response, but in the end couldn't get my head around the theory entirely.

So I've made this working example for my own benefit and to help calebfig out.

This is a really nice example!
Perhaps a good one for nirvam's example site?

Ryan,this is a very good example. If you would like for me to place this example on my site, I have no problem with that. Would be sad to have it buried.

Sure, by all means add it to the site.

Thanks.

[nivram]

Ok, and thanks.

Update to the homing missile example:

The original example had a fairly major bug, in that it couldn't handle many rotations in the same direction.

This update fixes that bug, so please download this one instead.
