Study Guide

Objective

After completing the course the student can use discrete time in programming use physics theories in programming simulate practical and mechanical problems by programming.

Content

time in programming kinematics and rotational motion forces causing movement collisions using simulations in programming

Materials

Teacher will provide powerpoints and Unity tools. Theory class of mondays requires students to bring paper and pen to take notes.

Teaching methods

Typical teaching in class room
+
Student preparation of own demos

Exam schedules

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

International connections

Analyze -> think -> work -> solve -> show

Completion alternatives

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.

Content scheduling

The course occurs during a 7 week period (from 2.11.2020 until 18.2, weeks 45 - 51) and it is divided in 7 blocks.
The blocks and their correspoing goals are:

1.Tools
Learn basics related to the use of Unity to solve Physics in games
Understand connection between UI and hardcore coding

2. Cinematics
Use elemental physics equaltions to model different types of objects motion
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
