Kinematics and Games

• So how does this effect games.
• As usual, it depends on the game.
• With spacewars, we used simple translational physics.
• Rotational motion could have been used to turn more realistically, but it largely works as is.
• What if you wanted to develop a bowling game, or ping pong.
• You could use simple translational effects unless you wanted to model English.
• In this case, you'll have to start including rigid body motion.
• Cars could include more (with acceleration through the wheel) or less (kludging the turns).
