English

What you'll learn

Translate new laws of physics to code.
Understand how game engine physics works.
Extend the capabilities of Unity 3Ds physics engine.
Transfer this knowledge to other game engines.

Requirements

You need to be comfortable with Unity 3D
You need to be comfortable with C# scripting.
You should be able solve basic algebra equations.

Description

Learn to build your own game physics engine. By the end of this mini-course course you will have gained confidence in translating theories of physics into working game code.

I will be teaching using Unity 3D free as the example game engine. I expect you to have some experience with both Unity 3D, and C# before starting this course. If you don't then check out my Complete Unity Developer course.

Why would you take this course?

To understand game physics better.
Practice creating your own physics components.
Improve your knowledge of Newtons Laws of Motion.

Note: We are no longer actively supporting this course, however if we do revisit this subject in the future then students on this course will get the updated content.

Access to this course does come with an optional, free community site where you can share games and 3D models, as well as connect with other students.

See you in there!

Who this course is for:

This course is ideal for you if you're running into the limits of your game engine's physics.
If you are not confident in how your game engine's physics works "under the hood", this course will give you that insight.
This course is probably not for you if you're a physics PhD, who is already confident in coding!

I just loved this course altogether. This course made me realize how dumb I was in school, and how much there is to learn more about this strange world. The most important thing, this course taught me is the importance of research, and how cool it was to actually learn about these things that i hated back in school. I had fun playing around with game physics overall. I would have loved to watch more content inside this course as well.

Hi, I'm Ben. I have a degree in computing from Imperial College London, and a physics diploma from the Open University.

I started working for myself at the age of 15, and never looked back. I explored careers as varied as being a commercial pilot, stunt-man, rock climbing instructor, and more. None of these provided a continued challenge, and stable income in the same way technology does.

After building and selling a home computer support business, I became an angel investor and business mentor here in Cambridge UK. I fell in love with teaching game development through one of my investments, and I now spend all of my time sharing my passion with people like you.

I can't wait to help you experience the fulfilment, and financial freedom, that having a deep understanding of technology brings.

So why not start learning to make games with me and my team now?

See you soon!

Ben
