Basic Game Physics.

This article looks like a good start.

hey

I recommend jmckell.com. Hmm, that's all I can think of for now.

The book "Physics for Game Developers" is also nice too.

The N Tutorials (Basic Collision Detection and Response and Grid-based Collision Detection and Raycasting) are an excellent resource on collision detection for a platformer.

Really? I thought it was a complete pile of cr*p. this one is better imho.

box2d is quite a nice open source simple 2d physics engine if you want to learn more about the ins and outs of programming a physics engine.

I found this helpful, although it is more about platform games in general rather than physics.
Hope it helps,
Svenjamin

For platformer? Platformers are better without so called game physics. Imagine a person to jump, and then slide because of low friction. Would he be happy? Platformers need firm control, so it's better to invent your own physics, than copy some textbook. Look at Sonic at GBA, you'd get some idea how far could you afford to go in a platformer.

And for reference I hate platformers. On the other hand I'm required to have at least some idea about any genre.

Ummm...let him make the game he wants. If he has an idea for a platformer using physics like that then let him use it.

"Game physics" do not have to match or even neccesarily approximate real physics. "Invented" physics are still physics. [wink]

thanks for the article
