I bought this Beginning Math and Physics for Game Progammers and it's helped me out a lot. Don't let the "Beginning" part of the title fool you.

If a method doesn't ...

Hi, I'm more of a right-brain kind of guy. I have a mathematical problem that I can't quite find a solution. I was hoping somebody could help me with it. I have an idea for a sort of spherical platformer where the character runs around an unrealistically small planet avoiding obstacles and collecting items & whatnot. Unlike Mario ...

I remember playing a game where you ran through an obstacle course. It was kind of a psuedo-3d 'forward scroller' where ...

Brandon Bloom:I have no idea what the team is planning, but it is my suspicion that whatever solution they come up with will certainly not be 360 compatable and will live in a seperate, Windows-only assembly.If I had my way, it would take the form of a XnaView control which you could simply drag out of the toolbox onto a form. That would be nice ...
