{"product_id":"9781430263388","title":"Physics for JavaScript Games, Animation, and Simulations: with HTML5 Canvas","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you ever wanted to include believable physical behaviors in your games and projects to give them that extra edge? \u003cem\u003ePhysics for JavaScript Games, Animation, and Simulations\u003c\/em\u003e teaches you how to incorporate real physics, such as gravity, friction, and buoyancy, into your HTML5 games, animations, and simulations. It also includes more advanced topics, such as particle systems, which are essential for creating effects such as sparks or smoke. The book also addresses the key issue of balancing accuracy and simplicity in your games and simulations, and the final chapters provide you with the information and the code to make the right choice for your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhysics for JavaScript Games, Animation, and Simulations\u003c\/em\u003e assumes you have a basic knowledge of JavaScript and HTML5. However, no previous knowledge of physics is required—only some very basic math skills. The authors present everything from basic principles to advanced concepts in an approachable way, so you’ll be able to follow the logic and easily adapt the principles to your own applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is packed full of practical examples of how you can apply physics to your own games and applications. Spring behaviors can be used for anything from tweaking lowrider suspension to creating cloth simulation; flotation mechanics enable the simulation of submersibles or dirigibles; you can even create your own solar system with accurate orbits and gravity. It doesn’t matter if you’re modeling the Lorentz force in an electromagnetic field or you’re modeling the lift force in a flight simulator, \u003cem\u003ePhysics for JavaScript Games, Animation, and Simulations\u003c\/em\u003e enables you to fill your games and applications with accurate and realistic effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cp\u003e• Learn all the basic math and physics you’ll need to incorporate realism into your projects\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Incorporate a wide range of forces, such as gravity, friction, and buoyancy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Build a number of realistic simulations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Model particle systems and use them to create visual effects\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Create complex systems using rigid bodies and mass-spring systems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Deal with numerical subtleties, including accuracy and stability of integration schemes\u003c\/p\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003ePhysics for JavaScript Games, Animation, and Simulations\u003c\/em\u003e is for JavaScript developers interested in incorporating real physics into their games, animations, simulations, or generative art projects\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e      \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Physics Programming \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJavaScript and HTML5 Canvas \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Math Background \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic Physics Concepts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Laws Governing Motion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravity, Orbits, and Rockets \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact and Fluid Forces \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring Forces: Springs and Oscillations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentripetal Forces: Rotational Motion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-Range Forces \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollisions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticle Systems \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Objects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumerical Integration Schemes, Accuracy, and Scaling \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoing Physics in 3D \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimulation Projects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128114921712,"sku":"9781430263388","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430263388_p0.jpg?v=1763749920","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430263388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
