No fancy questions here. I'm just curious if anyone has ever used lie groups in game design.

I did... orthonormal matrices (O(n)) are lie groups; they're used frequently in games. Not in game design AFAIK.

Here's some info about Lie groups: MathWorld. It says the topology of Lie groups is "Fairly restricted" so I guess (regular) groups are more interesting to use in game designs.
