Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great graphics aren’t enough: Highly realistic games follow the rules the world
actually operates on. Those rules are called physics. But you don’t need to be
Einstein to create realistic collisions and weapon fire. You just need this
book.

In Part I, Grant Palmer covers all the physics you’ll need: basic Newtonian
mechanics, kinematics, projectiles, gravity, aerodynamic drag, wind and spin
effects, and so forth. (Relax: if you remember your high school algebra and
trig, you should be fine.)

Next, you’ll put the physics to work: in sports simulations, cars, motorcycles,
boats, airplanes, rockets, missiles, ballistic impacts, explosions, lasers, and
more. There’s even a concise introduction to probability in game programming.
