				Hello all.
 
 
I've got a question, I'm quite interested in learning about Physics and I want to read up on some material that will get me started in the right direction.
 
 
I'm a programmer in C# and I wanted to know if anyone knew of any decent books that I can read that will give me a decent knowledge in Game Physics.
 
 
Any advice would be quite helpful.
 
 
Thanks.

				The physx engine by nvidia is free to use , but not sure if they provide a c# interface or if you'll have to write that part yourself

				Dark Byte,
 
 
I'm just trying to create everything from scratch. I feel its better to learn that way. But of course using plenty of examples which I've found a few that are dealing with Vectors, and Gravity, and a little Collision detection. But the few examples that I have are written in such a way that it makes it difficult to understand.
 
 
Anyways thanks I will check out that site!

				physx is pretty gross from what I've read.
 
 
there's also Bullet and ODE to look at.

				Physx is incredible, but very advanced.
 
I also don't think it would come pre engineered for C#.

EDIT: I've seen this one around quite a bit when I was looking for flash engines a while back...
