copied!<p>Here are some resources I assembled a few years ago. Of note is the Verlet Integration. I am also including links to some open source and commercial physics engines I found at that time. There is a stackoverflow article on this subject here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/98628/2d-game-physics">2d game physics?</a></p> <p><strong>Physics Methods</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verlet_integration" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Verlet Integration</a> (Wikipedia Article)</li> <li><a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/resource_guide/20030121/jacobson_01.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Advanced Character Physics</a> (Great article!

The book builds a physics engine in C++ from scratch. The Author starts with basic particle physics and then adds "laws of motion", constraints, rigid-body physics and on and on.
