In my opinion the best start is to take Erin Catto's Box2D_Lite and port it to 3D. Once you have worked through the educational Box2D_Lite you can look into the more sophisticated Box2D and maybe ODE and Bullet. You can find the relevant downloads here: http://www.gphysics.com/downloads

Typical references are:
- GDC slides of Erin Catto
- Kenny Erleben's PhD

Also interesting are the physic articles of Chris Hecker and the Siggraph course of David Baraff. Erwin has posted a nice list here http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/php ... p?f=6&t=63

How to start with game physics?

2007-12-28T16:31:58+00:00

Hi

I want to make a game engine by myself to learn more about game physics.

How should I start?
Which book should I read?
Which articles first?
Any hints?

Best Regards

Gerhard
