Getting Started With Vector Math in Game Engines
Vector math is the foundation of physics. We’ll break down dot products, cross products, and why they matter for realistic movement.

Vector Math Fundamentals
You’ll spend the first two weeks building intuition around vectors, dot products, and cross products. These aren’t abstract concepts — they’re the language your physics engine speaks. We don’t just show you formulas. We show you why they work.
Collision Detection That Works
Collision detection is where physics gets real. We cover AABB boxes, sphere casting, and separating axis theorem. You’ll build a collision system from scratch and actually understand when to use each approach. Performance matters — we’ll show you how to profile your code and fix bottlenecks.
Learn From People Who’ve Done This
Our instructors aren’t just teachers. They’ve shipped games with physics systems that run at 60fps.

How We Got Here
2018
Started Teaching Physics
James realized most game developers didn’t really understand their physics engines. They copied code without knowing why it worked.
2020
Built First Course
We structured everything around actual game problems. Not theory first. Real problems first, then theory.
2022
Melbourne Location Opens
Moved to Melbourne to work with the growing game dev community here. We’re still doing the same thing — deep physics knowledge for developers who care.
Today
300+ Developers Trained
Most are shipping games or working at studios. We know what works because we hear back from people using our teaching in production code.
What You’ll Actually Learn
Rigid Body Dynamics
How objects move, rotate, and respond to forces in real-time simulations.
Collision Systems
Building collision detection that’s both accurate and fast enough for games.
Constraint Solving
Making objects stick together, rotate around points, and maintain realistic relationships.
Performance Profiling
Finding bottlenecks and optimizing so your simulations run at 60fps without compromise.
Implementation Patterns
Clean code architecture for physics systems that scales as your games get more complex.
Engine Integration
How to integrate physics with your actual game engine, whether Unity, Unreal, or custom.
How The Course Works
1
Foundation Week
Vector math, matrices, and the math you actually need. We skip the abstract theory and focus on what makes physics work in games.
2
Core Physics
Forces, velocity, acceleration, and integration methods. You’ll build a simple physics system from first principles and watch it work.
3
Collision Detection
AABB, sphere tests, SAT, and raycasting. We compare approaches with actual performance data so you know when to use each one.
4
Response & Constraints
What happens after collision. Constraints, joints, and making objects behave realistically under physics.
5
Optimization
Profiling tools, finding bottlenecks, and techniques that keep your simulation running fast. This is where physics meets game performance.
6
Integration Project
You’ll integrate a complete physics system into a real game engine and ship something that works. No toy projects.
Trusted by Game Studios
Our graduates work at studios across Australia and beyond. They’re shipping games with physics systems they built with confidence.
