Why not read my latest post Collisions? Collision detection (sometimes called “hit detection”) is a crucial part of any game with even the simplest physics simulations. In this step, we’re going to update our physics engine a little. No, we aren’t about to make the next Unreal engine here, but this is a physics engine; we have reusable functions that can simulate movement and physical interactions.

About Me

I'm a professional programmer and amateur pianist. The prospect of video game design piqued my interest in programming, which led me to work as a web developer. I work on small video game projects in my spare time, some of which are recreations of classic games like Tetris and Asteroids. You can read more about me here.
