I noticed this this particular package from GameInstitute isn’t here yet. Will upload the “Game Mathematics – GameInstitute” after this one.

————————————————————————————————————-

By applying the laws of physics, you can realistically model nearly everything that bounces, flies, rolls, slides, or isn’t sitting still. This allows you to create compelling, believable content for your computer games, simulations, and animation. If you want to enrich your games with physics-based realism, this course will provide you with an excellent starting point. The video game physics topics you will learn range from basic Newtonian physics to vehicle modeling to spring-mass systems.

What will I learn if I take this course?

Part one of Physics for Game Developers is a mechanics primer that reviews basic concepts and addresses aspects of rigid body dynamics, including kinematics, force, and kinetics. In part two you will apply these concepts to specific real-world problems, such as projectiles, boats, airplanes, and cars. Part three introduces real-time simulations and will show you how they apply to modern computer games.

The lessons cover the following topics:

* The Principles of Newtonian Physics

* Simulating Gravity

* Simulating Friction

* Modelling Acceleration and Velocity

* Trajectories

* Kinematics and Motion Control

* Collision Detection and Response

* Animation Technique

* ..more..
