Rocket-Launch-Simulation

This project simulates a rocket launch sequence, showcasing fundamental concepts in C++ such as classes, member functions, and time delays. The simulation now includes advanced features like trajectory calculations, ignition sequences, and user-defined initial parameters to create a more realistic rocket launch experience.

Features Countdown Timer: A fully simulated countdown that introduces time delays and engages users in the launch process.
Ignition Sequence: An added ignition phase that simulates the rocket's engine starting, enhancing the realism of the launch process.
Trajectory Calculation: Computes the rocket's altitude and distance over time based on user-defined initial values such as launch angle, velocity, and time steps.
Failure Scenarios: Simulates potential failures during launch, such as engine malfunctions or guidance system errors.
User-Defined Inputs: Allows users to input realistic initial values, such as launch angle, initial velocity, and simulation duration, for more customized and educational simulations.
Educational Mode: An interactive mode that explains the underlying physics and C++ concepts as the simulation runs.

Tools and Libraries
C++ Standard Library:
: Handles standard input and output operations.
: Manages thread execution and introduces countdown pauses.
: Provides precise time duration handling for countdown intervals.
: Used for mathematical operations, particularly in trajectory calculations.

Visual Studio: An IDE for developing, debugging, and compiling C++ code. Simplifies project management and error handling.

Project Overview
main.cpp: The entry point of the program, where user input is handled, the Rocket object is instantiated, and the launch sequence is executed.
countdown.cpp: Defines the Rocket class with methods for initializing the rocket, managing the ignition sequence, and executing the countdown.
trajectory.cpp: Contains the Trajectory class that handles trajectory calculations based on user-defined initial values.
trajectory.h: The header file that declares the Trajectory class and its member functions.

Instructions
Build: Compile the project using Visual Studio. Ensure that main.cpp, countdown.cpp, and trajectory.cpp are included.
Execute: Run the compiled program. Input the rocket’s name, ignition sequence, initial velocity, launch angle, and countdown duration when prompted to observe the countdown, ignition, and launch sequence.
