Understanding Game Math

For those who are interested in game development and know that math is important, but don't know what math to study, I've prepared a lecture that provides a general explanation. I want to talk about the various maths used in the game production process.

What is the mathematics needed for game development?
What's there? 📐


Since there was no clear summary of this, I created a program that imitated a game engine and graphics card and implemented everything from points to moving characters to understand the mathematics required for game production and organized them one by one.


Curriculum ✍

This course breaks down game mathematics into three categories and explains core concepts that are essential to know during the production process.

Category 1. Mathematics of Space

Lesson 1: Explains the concepts of space and matrix, which serve as the stage for game production.

Category 2. Mathematics of Objects

Lesson 2: Explains the main mechanisms for implementing moving objects in games.

Lesson 3: Explains the mathematics of combining three points to form a triangle and using this to represent objects.

Lesson 4: Learn about vector operations required to handle objects moving in game space.

Category 3. Mathematics of Rotation

Lesson 5: Explains the basic concepts of trigonometric functions required for rotation transformation and the mechanism of rotation transformation.

Lesson 6: Explains what quaternions are, the four-dimensional numbers used to implement free three-dimensional rotation.
