If you want to enrich your game’s experiencewith physics-based realism, the expanded edition of this classic book detailsphysics principles applicable to game development. You’ll learn aboutcollisions, explosions, sound, projectiles, and other effects used in games onWii, PlayStation, Xbox, smartphones, and tablets. You’ll also get a handle onhow to take advantage of various sensors such as accelerometers and opticaltracking devices.

 

 

Authors David Bourg and BryanBywalec show you how to develop your own solutions to a varietyof problems by providing technical background, formulas, and a few codeexamples. This updated book is indispensable whether you work alone or as partof a team.
