Generating, plotting trajectory and…gamification (Excel)

Reminiscing the old tank game, I wanted to re-create a low-weight, low-code option of that simulation. The game depended on a canon (projectile) shot at your selected speed and angle to hit an enemy tank. The foundational formula is used in missile launch, sports, and many (you guessed it) military applications. Here, using the same […]

Which is then wrapped […]

Simulating coin-toss in Excel

Most of us know that theoretically, there’s a 50-50 chance of getting a “head” from an unbiased coin-toss. There are numerous implementations and simulations done in virtually all programming languages around this age-old ‘riddle’. In this blog, I share a simple but very effective simulation in Excel. Here’s the simulation: As you can see, I’m […]
