Key Features

  • Get a comprehensive coverage of techniques to create high performance collision detection in games
  • Learn the core mathematics concepts and physics involved in depicting collision detection for your games
  • Get a hands-on experience of building a rigid body physics engine

Book Description

Physics is really important for game programmers who want to add realism and functionality to their games. Collision detection in particular is a problem that affects all game developers, regardless of the platform, engine, or toolkit they use.

This book will teach you the concepts and formulas behind collision detection. You will also be taught how to build a simple physics engine, where Rigid Body physics is the main focus, and learn about intersection algorithms for primitive shapes.

You'll begin by building a strong foundation in mathematics that will be used throughout the book. We'll guide you through implementing 2D and 3D primitives and show you how to perform effective collision tests for them. We then pivot to one of the harder areas of game development―collision detection and resolution.

Further on, you will learn what a Physics engine is, how to set up a game window, and how to implement rendering. We'll explore advanced physics topics such as constraint solving. You'll also find out how to implement a rudimentary physics engine, which you can use to build an Angry Birds type of game or a more advanced game.

By the end of the book, you will have implemented all primitive and some advanced collision tests, and you will be able to read on geometry and linear Algebra formulas to take forward to your own games!

What you will learn

  • Implement fundamental maths so you can develop solid game physics
  • Use matrices to encode linear transformations
  • Know how to check geometric primitives for collisions
  • Build a Physics engine that can create realistic rigid body behavior
  • Understand advanced techniques, including the Separating Axis Theorem
  • Create physically accurate collision reactions
  • Explore spatial partitioning as an acceleration structure for collisions
  • Resolve rigid body collisions between primitive shapes

書籍描述


對於希望為遊戲增加真實感和功能性的遊戲程序員來說，物理學非常重要。特別是碰撞檢測是一個影響所有遊戲開發者的問題，無論他們使用的平台、引擎或工具包是什麼。


本書將教授您碰撞檢測背後的概念和公式。您還將學習如何構建一個簡單的物理引擎，其中剛體物理是主要焦點，並學習基本形狀的交叉算法。


您將首先建立數學的堅實基礎，這將貫穿整本書。我們將指導您實現2D和3D基本形狀，並向您展示如何對它們進行有效的碰撞測試。然後，我們轉向遊戲開發中較難的領域-碰撞檢測和解決。


此外，您還將了解物理引擎是什麼，如何設置遊戲窗口以及如何實現渲染。我們將探索高級物理主題，如約束求解。您還將了解如何實現一個基本的物理引擎，您可以使用它來構建類似愤怒的小鸟或更高級的遊戲。


通過閱讀本書，您將實現所有基本和一些高級的碰撞測試，並能夠閱讀幾何和線性代數公式，以應用於您自己的遊戲中！
