Cannon Challenge- Today's Time Waster

Cannon Challenge is a cannon game similar to Gorillas (an old-school game that came with QBasic) in that you launch a projectile at a target by setting velocity and angle. The game is made by the Discovery Channel for promoting their show Future Weapons. You control a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) cannon that "represents the future of U.S. Field Artillery."

You're given a limited number of shots, and each target has an associated point value (mouse over the target to get info). Finishing a level with unused shots yields bonus points. As the game progresses, targets will need to be destroyed within certain time limits.
