Go to the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/georgeh1ll/Projectile-Motion-Simulator/releases) page.\n   - Find the latest release and locate the Windows executable file (e.g., `projectile_motion_simulator.exe`).\n   - Click on the file to download it.\n\n2. **Run the Executable:**\n   - Once the executable file is downloaded, double-click it to run the application.\n\n3. **Enter Initial Parameters:**\n   - You'll see the application window with fields for \"Initial Velocity (m/s)\" and \"Launch Angle (degrees).\"\n   - Enter the desired initial velocity and launch angle.\n\n4. **Set Graph Limits:**\n   - You can adjust the X and Y limits for the graph using the sliders.\n   - Set the desired limits for the graph.\n\n5. **Update the Plot:**\n   - Click the \"Update Plot\" button to visualize the projectile motion.\n\n### Using the Python Version:\n\n1. **Download Python File:**\n   - Download the Python file from the repository.\n\n2. **Install Dependencies:**\n\n   - Make sure you have Python 3.x installed on your system.\n   - Install the required dependencies using pip:\n\n     ```bash\n     pip install tkinter matplotlib numpy\n     ```\n\n3. **Run the Python Script:**\n   - Run using the following:\n     ```bash\n     python3 Projectile Motion Simulator.py\n     ```\n\n4. **Enter Initial Parameters:**\n\n   - The application window will open with fields for \"Initial Velocity (m/s)\" and \"Launch Angle (degrees).\"\n   - Enter the desired initial velocity and launch angle.\n\n5. **Set Graph Limits:**\n\n   - You can adjust the X and Y limits for the graph using the sliders.\n   - Set the desired limits for the graph.\n\n6. **Update the Plot:**\n\n   - Click the \"Update Plot\" button to visualize the projectile motion.\n\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.x\n- tkinter\n- matplotlib\n- numpy\n\n\n## Author\n\n[George Hill](https://github.com/georgeh1ll)\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
