Produto educacional: Física na criação de jogos eletrônicos em Unity 3D

Abstract

The current vídeo games, especially the highly successful titles, have evolved exceptionally fast when compared to their origins. Among these evolutions, their graphic and functional fidelity to the real world stands out. In this work, a freeware game engine, Unity 3D, was used to investigate the process of creating a game scene that allowed the use of the knowledge of Physics, specifically of Mechanics, in the construction of a game in which a vehicle is driven in a closed circuit, with the objective of demonstrating a method of adjustments and manipulation of the system for the purpose of representing a real physical system, in a simplified way, verifying whether this is possible with the chosen software. After a brief study of the history of physics in video games since its birth and presentation of the necessary knowledge, this was accomplished through physical calculations and use of real values, to compare and replace in the software so that it produced the desired behavior.
