I'll probably make a screencast in which I go over the different parts of this program. Once you play with this program, you might notice it's not so trivial to aim at the wall and hit the target. You can do it, but only with a little bit of guesswork.
How about something a bit more complicated? What if the reflected surface isn't a flat wall but a curved surface? In this case we can still assume that the incident and reflected angle are still equal.
However, there is a big difference. Now if you hit the curved surface at a slightly different point, it will have a different axis about which it will reflect.
In terms of coding, it's actually an easier program to create. Collision detection is simpler. All I need to do is determine the distance from the center of the curved wall to the center of the shield. If this distance is less than the sum of their radii, then they "hit. There is one problem that I encountereddepending on where the shield hits, it could reflect either to the left or the right.

From the Wikipedia article: The vibranium in the shield grants it unusual properties, allowing it to absorb virtually all of the kinetic impact from any blows that the shield receives without injuring Rogers in the process.
Jenayah His shield doesn't return to him automatically, he just throws it so that it'll bounce back to him. When Bucky was Cap, he couldn't pull that trick off. Never play pool with Steve Rogers. Jeff Unless you are Cyclops. Adding to Random's question, does not the fact that it absorbs all kinetic energy prevent it from ricocheting in the first place? Would it not hit whatever object it was thrown at and simply fall to the ground?
Random Because he's catching it, not letting it bounce off of his hand? Paperjam I can't say for certain, since I haven't seen much Captain America media, but if the shield is thrown and ricochets like Xena's chakram, then it could have something to do with being extra bouncy on edge, but kinetic-energy absorbent on the flat surface.
