This is useful for artillery sort of games where your bullets will fire from a barrel at a certain angle. You can use the Tan value in your power/angle formula to help determine the trajectory of the shot.</td></tr></table><p class='header'>Example: <br><br><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' align='center'><tr><td>; tan example<br>
