Sonic's Physics Engine... Isn't a Physics Engine?
A detailed analysis of the implementation of the physics system in Sonic games: it runs efficiently on a 7MHz 68000 CPU based on predefined collision tiles and simple sensor rules, rather than real-time physics calculations. It also introduces design details such as level collision data, sensor system, dual loop implementation, and the author's progress on an Amiga port.
Physics + Rendering + Game: Combat game where the speed of light is very slow - built by Claude Fable
A combat game demo built with Claude Fable where the speed of light is artificially slowed, creating relativistic visual effects like light delay and aberration. The implementation uses a vertex shader with camera pose history to compute retarded positions per vertex.
