Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to integrate a physics, and rendering, engine into a 3-D digital game.It applies to individuals with high-level technical and mathematical skills working as game engine developers, gameplay programmers and other personnel working in the game development industry.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop a game world system
  • 1.1 Develop code using a programming language and create instances of the rendering engine, the scene manager and physics engine’s world objects
  • 1.2 Constrain the frame rate to a desired frame rate
2. Develop components to support game world creation using physics
  • 2.1 Create and implement the game physics system
  • 2.2 Implement the game object primitives
  • 2.3 Use or develop a physics debugger to show collision frames
3. Develop an understanding of constraint dynamics
  • 3.1 Generate game objects or physics bodies constrained by joints
  • 3.2 Build a ragdoll using the game physics system
4. Develop an understanding of physics interactivity
  • 4.1 Use the game physics system to ray cast the scene
  • 4.2 Implement a player-controlled model
  • 4.3 Implement and develop game physics system models
5. Develop an interactive scene
  • 5.1 Use primitives to build a scene
  • 5.2 Use trigger volumes to fire off events
  • 5.3 Capture the collision events with call-backs
  • 5.4 Use a toggle for collision frames
6. Compile a report
  • 6.1 Build class diagrams for all objects
  • 6.2 Describe the techniques used to create interactivity
  • 6.3 Describe the objects and when they were used
  • 6.4 Document the libraries used
