A comment on Halley: Lightweight Game Engine Written in C++14.

I grew up with the author of this library. He was absurdly intelligent. He started studying quantum physics in high school because he was bored with the “normal” content of our classes. And, of course, he always dreamed on working in the games industry :)

Hmm maybe your friend has forsaken physics. He did not implement any physics in his engine! (not yet?) =D

He has a famous blog post somewhere teaching beginners how to do physics on 2D platformers.

I'm not the OP, but here you go: http://higherorderfun.com/blog/2012/05/20/the-guide-to-imple...

It looks quite nice.

This is probably the most comprehensive single written guide to how platformers are implemented. Definitely worth a read.

this is mostly sprite/collision well known patterns summaries. not much on physics.

it has quantum physics, which can be approximated to zero based on experiments on the applicable scales :D

Right, tell that to your semiconductor based computing device.

To a first approximation, this would be something like

    vec3 pos = {0f, 0f, 0f};
which I think was the joke, you may now laugh.
