I think this is great - it kinda _why ish. I think that if it can be solved using the controls you provide that's good, but if short cuts can be made by hacking the code there is an incentive to try - like adding a loop that fires the cannon continuously, a loop that changes it angle over a range... I don't know - but if the 'cheats' are in the code there is a reason to look at it (the code). They need to be simple (initially). I quickly started adjusting the angle force in the code to just to see if I could.

Yea, exactly, that's what I was thinking. Just need to get a little more sophisticated with the levels. I have one in mind to build a tower on a see-saw, so unless you place the blocks perfectly, they'll fall over, making it way more easy if you just code it.
