✦ Synopsis

Whether you're a hobbyist or a budding game design pro, your
objective is probably the same: To create the coolest games
possible using today's increasingly sophisticated technology. To do
that, however, you need to understand some basic math and physics
concepts. Not to worry: You don't need to go to night school if you
get this handy guide! Through clear, step-by-step instructions,
author Wendy Stahler covers the trigonometry snippets, vector
operations, and 1D/2D/3D motion you need to improve your level of
game development. Each chapter includes exercises to make the
learning stick, and Visualization Experience sections are sprinkled
throughout that walk you through a demo of the chapter's content.
By the end of the volume, you'll have a thorough understanding of
all of the math and physics concepts, principles, and formulas you
need to control and enhance your user's gaming experience.
