In this GDC 2013\u00a0session, Blizzard Entertainment’s Erin Catto explores how to solve collision problems in game programming.<\/p>\n
Catto\u00a0discusses how games would be far less compelling without the realistic physics simulation that engages the player’s intuition and stimulates their motion awareness.<\/p>\n
He goes on to explain how physics has become a staple of modern gaming\u00a0as developers try to re-create and re-interpret the world around them through physics engines, discussing collision detection\u00a0with a\u00a0focus on rigid body physics and real-time simulation in games.<\/p>\n
It was an informative talk that’s still definitely\u00a0worth watching,\u00a0so developers\u00a0shouldn’t miss the\u00a0opportunity to do so now that it’s\u00a0freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!<\/a><\/p>\n In addition to this presentation, the\u00a0GDC Vault<\/a>\u00a0and its accompanying\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent\u00a0Game Developers Conference events<\/a>, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.<\/p>\n Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC\u00a0already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via\u00a0a GDC Vault subscription page<\/a>. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the\u00a0GDC Vault group subscription page<\/a>.
