MM278 Game Physics
Applies the fundamentals of physics to games from both a technical and creative perspective. Provides hands-on experience with 2D and 3D game physics engines to explore how the basic principles of physics (force, mass, acceleration, friction, inertia, kinematics and mechanics) can be represented in games. Teaches calculations used to control, create, and debug physics effects. Explores physics-based effects and mechanics at play in modern games and theorizes how they were achieved. Prerequisites: MM 242 or MM 243, and (WR 115 and RD 115) or IRW 115 and MTH 20 or equivalent placement. Audit available. (See course content and outcomes.)
