Chapter 5 Collision Theory and Logic
• Game design software is used to create a playable video game.
• Animated objects can be integrated into a video game to provide motion.
• Sound and music effects can be created in a video game, which can help
increase immersion and the entertainment value of the game.
• Computers use basic logic statements to test conditions and determine
actions based on the result.
• Some mathematical symbols, such as +,–,, , and parentheses, are used as
operational syntax and function just as they do in mathematical equations.
• Two features of object-oriented programming are that the game engine runs
very well on a standard PC and that the game engine is very user friendly.
