Can anyone point me to some resources/sites that list the major 2D/3D game maths/physics algorithms, you know, for things like inertia, gravity, acceleration, point-to-point movement etc etc and sin/cos stuff? I can't seem to find anything good on the net where it's all nicely explained and lumped together, hopefully using DBPro examples.

Maybe someone in the know could do a definitive article on it or something...

Fanx.

Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Sorry this isnt more specific but when I was doing my physics stuff (mostly 2d elastic collisions) I found typing "2D elastic collisions" into google found the formulas pretty quickly...

Although if you havnt a basic understanding of vectors and trigonometry you might be better off starting out looking for a secondary school A level physics textbook.

you could try http://www.explorescience.com/activities/activity_list.cfm?categoryID=10
http://www.hazelwood.k12.mo.us/~grichert/sciweb/momentum.htm

Theres plenty out there if you look!
