Building a 2D Game Physics Engine : Using HTML5 and JavaScript

Build your very own 2D physics-based game engine simulation system for rigid body dynamics. Beginning from scratch, in this book you will cover the implementation technologies, HTML5 and JavaScript; assemble a simple and yet complete fundamental mathematics support library; define basic rigid body behaviors; detect and resolve rigid body collisions; and simulate collision responses after the collisions. In this way, by the end of __Building a 2D Game Physics Engine__, you will have an in-depth understanding of the specific concepts and events, implementation details, and actual source code of a physics game engine that is suitable for building 2D games or templates for any 2D games you can create and can be played across the Internet via popular web-browsers. **What You'll Learn** * Gain an understanding of 2D game engine physics and how to utilize it in your own games * Describe the basic behaviors of rigid bodies * Detect collisions between rigid bodies * Resolve interpretations after rigid body collisions * Model and implement rigid body impulse responses **Who This Book Is For** Game enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone who is interested in building their own 2D physics game engines but is unsure of how to begin.
