I think "software engineers aren't really engineers" is putting "real engineering" on a pedestal that is borne of ignorance. Hillel Wayne's engineer interviews were eye-opening on this: https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/are-we-really-engineers/

The arrow operator is a field access through a pointer. That is, if you have a pointer to a struct, it's the same as dereferencing the pointer and accessing the field: "(*foo).bar" corresponds to "foo->bar".
I think the main driving logic is on line 228. It could definitely do with some more descriptive variable names, though - "a" for angle, and "s" for sense inputs seems a bit too short.

A little nitpick - energy is not momentum squared:
Momentum = mv and kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2
So energy is proportional to mv^2 rather than (mv)^2

Could you add an option to edit each value as a number as well as a slider? Sometimes you want to get the same value again, and you can't get the slider in the same position as before.

There's been a lot of criticism for that comment and it really shouldn't be taken without a large pinch of salt. For example, it didn't account for people buying it once and installing on more than one device. That's a pretty big oversight.
Much as I love ustwo, it was a stupid comment for that developer to make.
