Have you ever
wanted to include believable physical behaviors in your games and
projects to give them that extra edge? Physics for JavaScript Games,
Animation, and Simulations teaches you how to incorporate real physics,
such as gravity, friction, and buoyancy, into your HTML5 games,
animations, and simulations. It also includes more advanced topics, such
as particle systems, which are essential for creating effects such as
sparks or smoke. The book also addresses the key issue of balancing
accuracy and simplicity in your games and simulations, and the final
chapters provide you with the information and the code to make the right
choice for your project.
Physics for JavaScript Games, Animation,
and Simulations assumes you have a basic knowledge of JavaScript and
HTML5. However, no previous knowledge of physics is required—only some
very basic math skills. The authors present everything from basic
principles to advanced concepts in an approachable way, so you’ll be
able to follow the logic and easily adapt the principles to your own
applications.
The book is packed full of practical examples of how
you can apply physics to your own games and applications. Spring
behaviors can be used for anything from tweaking lowrider suspension to
creating cloth simulation; flotation mechanics enable the simulation of
submersibles or dirigibles; you can even create your own solar system
with accurate orbits and gravity. It doesn’t matter if you’re modeling
the Lorentz force in an electromagnetic field or you’re modeling the
lift force in a flight simulator, Physics for JavaScript Games,
Animation, and Simulations enables you to fill your games and
applications with accurate and realistic effects.
What you’ll learn• Learn all the basic math and physics you’ll need to incorporate realism into your projects
• Incorporate a wide range of forces, such as gravity, friction, and buoyancy
• Build a number of realistic simulations
