Okay - found a pretty good game, and one that will teach you a few engineering principals at the same time. The Trebuchet is an old war machine and in it's modern incarnations can be found in small town pumpkin hurling contests during the autumn. This purpose of this game is to see how far you can hurl a projectile using the forces of gravity and wind as well as the launch angle and projectile weight. Change the parameters of the trebuchet and see how they effect your toss. Well, I had fun with it.
