Physics for Game Programmers shows you how to infuse compelling and realistic
action into game programming—even if you don’t have a college-level
physics background! Author Grant Palmer covers basic physics and mathematical
models and then shows how to implement them, to simulate motion and behavior of
cars, planes, projectiles, rockets, and boats.
This book is neither code heavy nor language specific, and all chapters include
unique, challenging exercises for you to solve. This unique book also includes
historical footnotes and interesting trivia. You’ll enjoy the conversational
tone, and rest assured: all physics jargon will be properly explained.
