Course Description

Overview

How to create an interactive 3D video game in Wolfram Language. Make dynamic camera controls and add game controllers. Set up gravity, collision detection, line-of-sight mechanics.

Summary
You can create an interactive 3D video game entirely in the Wolfram environment, using Wolfram Language and the notebook front end interface. With built-in functions, you can make dynamic camera controls and add game controllers that allow you to move players. The lesson also includes how to set up basic game functionality, like gravity, collision detection and line-of-sight mechanics.

Featured Products & Technologies: Wolfram Language and Wolfram Notebooks (available in Mathematica, Wolfram|One and Wolfram|Alpha Notebook Edition)
