Physics is an integral part of many games, but it can be a daunting subject to tackle. Luckily, Unity offers a wonderful engine that allows you to integrate powerful physics into your game without being a physicist! We will discuss important fundamental concepts of the physics engine, followed by a lightly guided workshop to experiment and have fun! During the workshop you will be supplied with pre-made tools and scripts for fun experimentation (useful for beginners and intermediate users of Unity).
Install Prior to Workshop: Unity game engine, the latest version
Skill Level Required: Beginner with a low-level of familiarity with the Unity engine; this workshop will not provide an introduction to the engine
