Digital motion rules
Game physics is the system of rules governing how objects move and interact in a video game—gravity, collisions, momentum, friction.
Realistic game physics makes environments feel believable: The game physics let you knock objects off tables.
Some games deliberately use exaggerated or broken physics for comedic effect: The ragdoll physics are hilarious.
