C++ Concepts (Inheritance, virtual functions and class), Optimization quiz(Thousands of balls in a cube), Game Programming quiz(Spaceship can shoot projectiles, there are rocks size of large, medium, and small. Everytime rock hitted by projectiles their size became smaller and smaller. How to design classes and main game logic), Math(when velocity, normal of a surface give, how to calculate reflected vector. and when there are a disc and gun, how to calculate projectiles of a gun whether hit a disc or not.) Code(Implement AddNode function in List)
