Lacrosse Shot Physics Simulator (2D)
Side-view and top-down lacrosse shot lab: drag, crosswind and the Magnus spin effect curve the ball toward or past the goal as you tune speed, angle and spin.
This 2D companion runs the same drag + Magnus-effect equations as the 3D version through a plain canvas split into a side view (distance vs. height) and a top-down strip (distance vs. lateral curve), so the arc and the curve are both readable at a glance instead of requiring an orbiting camera.
