+= Projectile =
+[[ArchivePage]]
+
+  A Baseclass for all the Projectiles/Bullets that one might imagne.
+  A Projectile is most of the Time emitted by a [wiki:archive/Weapon Weapon]. 
+
+__Dependecies__
+  * [wiki:archive/WorldEntity WorldEntity]
+  * [wiki:archive/Weapon Weapon]
+  * !FastFactory

+'''Projectiles''' get emitted by [wiki:archive/Weapon Weapon]. ''Weapons'' give them their impuls, their live, and mainly all the essential __initial values__.
+From there on, they are on their own, and fly through space searching for something to destroy and initiate the '''~''' operator ...
+ * '''types''': 
+   1. Rockets
+   1. Lasers
+   1. Projectiles (Metallic or Metalloplastic)
+   1. Bombs
+   1. Joining (like the linking-gun of some other games...)
+   1. other doomsdaydevice-equal destruction Methods
+   1. Zero Point Gravity/Black Hole
+
+== Implementation ==
+Here follows a listing of the most important Functions of this Class:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+    void setFlightDirection(const Quaternion& flightDirection);
+    void setVelocity(const Vector &velocity);
+    void setLifeSpan(float lifeSpan);
+
+
+    void setEnergies(float energyMin, float energyMax);
+
+    /** @brief This is called, when the Projectile is Emitted */
+    virtual void activate() = 0;
+    /** @brief This is called, when the Projectile is being destroyed, or deleted */
+    virtual void deactivate() = 0;
+
+    virtual void destroy ();
+
+    virtual void tick (float time);
+    virtual void draw () const;
+}}}
+
+== Projectile Creation ==
+Creating Projectiles is a rather easy process, but if you like, Projecties can be extremely extendable.
+For instance, if you liked some Gravitation gun (not the one from HL2), then you would connect a physical field to the Gun, that sucks in all NPC's and if they are to near, distroy them (or damage them about some amount).
+
+__Description__
+  1. Have a look at the creation-howto of [wiki:archive/WorldEntity WorldEntity]
+  2. Make the class '''public [wiki:Projectile Projectile]''' instead of ''public [wiki:archive/WorldEntity WorldEntity]'' (include projectile.h instead of world_entity.h)
+  3. Graphics: probably the most important part about the creation of a Projectile -> OpenGL
+  4. Special Actions, etc
