PRELIMINARY WEBSITE
Course is held in German, the slides are in English.
Contents
A game physics engine is developed in this lab. Starting with simple time steps for moving rigid body objects you will successively extend your developments by collision detection, rotations, friction, etc. to obtain a game physics engine.
Topics:
- Introduction to game engines (Visualization, physics, scripting, ...)
- Game-Physics (Force, momentum, torque, ...)
- Game-Math (Numerical approximations, accuracy, time-steps, ...)
- Modeling of springs, Rods, Ropes
- Collision detection
- Resolving of interpenetrations
- Friction
- Interaction
- ...
Prerequisites
- Preliminary knowledge in C++ is advantageous, but it's no prerequisite.
- However, you should have experiences in object-oriented programming - e.g. Java programming.
- No prior knowledge about visualization is necessary.
