Physics is really important to game programmers who need to know
how to add physical realism to their games. They need to take into
account the laws of physics when creating a simulation or game
engine, particularly in 3D computer graphics, for the purpose of
making the effects appear more real to the observer or player.The
game engine needs to recognize the physical properties of objects
that artists create, and combine them with realistic motion. The
physics ENGINE is a computer program that you work into your game
that simulates Newtonian physics and predict effects under
different conditions. In video games, the physics engine uses
real-time physics to improve realism. This is the only book in its
category to take readersandnbsp;throughandnbsp;the process
ofandnbsp;building a complete game-ready physics engine from
scratch.andnbsp;The Cyclone game engine featured in the book was
written specifically for this book and has beenandnbsp;utilized in
iPhone application development and Adobe Flash projects.andnbsp;
There is a good deal of master-class level information available,
but almost nothing in any format that teaches the basics in a
practical way. The second edition includes NEW
and/orandnbsp;revised material on collision detection, 2D physics,
casual game physics for Flash games, more references, a glossary,
and end-of-chapter exercises. The companion website will include
the full source code of the Cyclone physics engine, along with
example applications that show the physics system in
operation.andnbsp;
