Outcome 2: Physics

• Demonstrate understanding of simple physics and how to appropropriately simulate physics in a games environment
• We really just touch Physics, but have spent a lot of time on it.
• We covered:
• Basic math and motion (lec 4)
• Basic Newtonian mechanics (lec 5)
• Kinematics (lec 15).
• One key is to note the tradeoff between physical accuracy and computational efficiency. This includes issues of both software and physics and was addressed explicitly in approximation (lec 8).
• Similarly the moving agents lecture (lec 6) covers physics, software and some AI.
