  Teachers and responsibilities

  Principal teach is Senior Specialist David Oliva
  Sami Luakkanen, Juha Saarinen, Werner Ravyse, and Lasse Pouru assist with some of the contents
  
  The teaching team has created a plan to teach the basics of the physics engine built in Unity Engine and force the students to apply that other knowledge related to physics to solve few examples which could be applied in videogames.

  Alternative methods of attainment for implementation

  Mondays and Fridays is obligatory to take part on the course. If conditions allowed, physically in the class room. Teacher will check attendance. If Corona situation gets worse, then remotely.

  Exam dates and retake possibilities

  There is not exam.
  The final grade is obtained from the average of all the presented Works.

  Learn verification methods to test the correctness of the solution
  
  3. Collisions
  Understand frequent algorithms applied for collisions and avoidance of tunneling effect
  Learn about changes of trayectories and velocities using collision principles
  
  4. Sniper
  Improve knowledge on projectile trayectories when considering physical effects like air resistance and air drag
  Learn to use databases and second order equation fitting to empirical data
  
  5. Acoustics
  Learn basics of sound propagation and transmission in open and close spaces
  Learn tools for immersive 3D-audio modelling in Unity
  
  6. Fluids
  Understand basics about smoke and flames propagation
  Learn the use of shaders and other modelling tools for visually appealing representation of flames and smoke
  
  7. Demo
  Improve oral and visual presentation skills when pitching your game
