Course Objectives: | Many games benefit from the use of real physics for enhanced reality. Therefore it is important for a game developer to understand and use law of physics to plan more realistic games. This course serves as a starting point for the development of physics-based realistic games. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1- Apply Newton’s Second Law to particles and particle systems, 2- Use 3D kinematics of particles and rigid bodies in example scenarios, 3- Describe the forces and moments in rigid bodies, 4- Model the motion of fundamental vehicles : aircraft, ship and car, 5- Understand the physics of light and its interaction between surfaces, 6- Describe the surface properties of different materials used in solid modeling, 7- use Processing environment to program fundamental game concepts with physical realism |
