Reveal the game's vivid, fluid secrets
42 programming examples, to get through the game development of the two-meridian
134 diagrams, clearly explain the five basic implementation of game programming

"Game development of Mathematics and physics" strictly selected the game development of the most commonly used mathematics and physics knowledge, through the game development examples, with rich illustrations, from easy to difficult to explain the sequence. The 1th chapter to the 5th chapter respectively explained the object movement, the scrolling, the collision detection, the light production, the screen switch subdivision processing. These five chapters will clean sweep the necessary knowledge of the game, and also strictly select a few 3D game programming basic content for reference. The 6th chapter systematically combs the mathematics and physics theories of game development, and helps readers to understand the contents of the first five chapters better.
