Physics is an integral part of game development and lot of game developers depend on the physics forces to create game logic.

Most game engines have a physics engine inbuilt and here is how the physics engine is used in game development.

1

Collision Detection

Physics engines calculate and detect collisions between objects in games, allowing for realistic interactions and physics-based gameplay.

2

Gravity

Physics engines simulate the effects of gravity on objects in games, allowing for realistic movement and interaction with the game world.

3

Projectile Motion

Games use physics to calculate the trajectory of projectiles, such as bullets or arrows, allowing for accurate aiming and shooting mechanics.

4

Fluid Simulation

Physics engines simulate the behavior of fluids in games, such as water or lava, allowing for realistic visuals and gameplay mechanics.

5

Ragdoll Physics

Games use physics to simulate the movement and behavior of characters and creatures when they are hit or killed, creating realistic death animations.

6

Force and Motion

Physics engines simulate the effects of forces on objects in games, allowing for realistic movement and interactions with the game world.

7

Kinematics

Games use physics to calculate the movement and behavior of objects in motion, such as vehicles or characters, allowing for realistic animations and movement.

8

Friction

Physics engines simulate the effects of friction on objects in games, allowing for realistic movement and interactions with the game world.
