Physics Modeling for Game Programmers

Buy
Programmers who want to include 3D math and physics in a game have to wade through physics textbooks and dreary tomes on linear algebra and group theory, only to find that the material is too abstract to be used directly in their games. This book gives readers the skills they want and need to incorporate real physics into their games. As they work through the book, they will constantly develop tools, demos, and working games. The highly graphical demos ensure that instead of just reading about how to calculate the trajectory of a projectile, the reader will actually see a canon firing rounds toward the front lines. From the successful Game Development series, this book thoroughly addresses the specific needs of game developers.

Physics modeling is taking the game development industry by storm. It is a powerful too for producing great-looking, realistic games. A simple model can create effects beyond the wildest expectations. Advances in processing speed and 3D rendering technology have revolutionized games. A good understanding of the underlying physics and how to implement it as a programmer are essential to making a really good 3D game.

About the Author
David Conger is a former professor of Computer Science and Business Computer Programming at Alburquerque Technical-Vocational Institute of Alburquerque,
New Mexico. As a Software Engineer, he wrote firmware for parallel processing real time graphics display controllers used on military aircraft (specifically the F15E
fighter and OH58D helicopter). In addition, he wrote PC games for American Laser Games, Her Interactive, and Microsoft Corporation.

David's writing career began as a supplement to his software development career. His first book, published in 1987, was a collection of folktales from India and the Far East retold in English for Western children. Since that time, he has authored five books about computers, including Fundamentals of Microcomputers for Technology Students (Prentice Hall; 0132170191), C++ Software Development for Technology Students (Prentice Hall, 0133701808), Software Development in C: A Practical Approach to Programming and Design (Prentice Hall, 0133701727), The Complete Idiot's Guide to C# Programming (Alpha Books, 002864378X), and Remoting with C# and .NET: Remote Objects for Distributed Applications (John Wiley & Sons, 047127352X).

Wikipedia: The Missing Manual
What made you write the book? In November 2006 I started working on an index for editors of Wikipedia – a single page that had links to all relevant policies, guidelines, how-to pages, reference pages, tools, and other things that an editor might conceivably want to read. The more I worked on the index, the...
Hepatocellular Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment (Current Clinical Oncology)
Hepatocellular Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment (Current Clinical Oncology)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) used to be regarded as a rare disease. The increasing numbers of chronic hepatitis C virus carriers in the United States and subsequent increased incidence of HCC seen in most large medical centers means that it is no longer an uncommon disease for most gastroenterologists or oncologists to...
iPod touch For Dummies
iPod touch For Dummies

This is the part in which I’m supposed to introduce the iPod touch and tell you why I wrote this book, but frankly, I’m so blown away by the iPod touch and all it can do that all I want to do is get you started with it.

Yes, I have a history with iPods: I wrote iPod & iTunes For Dummies, which I recommend for...


Experiments in the Machine Interpretation of Visual Motion
Experiments in the Machine Interpretation of Visual Motion

If robots are to act intelligently in everyday environments, they must have a perception of motion and its consequences. This book describes experimental advances made in the interpretation of visual motion over the last few years that have moved researchers closer to emulating the way in which we recover information about the surrounding...

Powder Surface Area and Porosity (Environmental Resource Management Series)
Powder Surface Area and Porosity (Environmental Resource Management Series)
The rapid growth of interest in powders and their surface properties in many diverse industries prompted the writing of this book for those who have the need to make meaningful measurements without the benefit of years of experience. It is intended as an introduction to some of the elementary theory and experimental methods...
Hybrid Massive MIMO Precoding in Cloud-RAN (Wireless Networks)
Hybrid Massive MIMO Precoding in Cloud-RAN (Wireless Networks)

This book covers the design and optimization of hybrid RF-baseband precoding for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-enabled cloud radio access networks (RANs), where use cases such as millimeter-wave wireless backhauling, fully-loaded cellular networks are of interest. The suitability and practical implementation of the...
