Games Demystified, Super Mario Galaxy

If you pass by Gamasutra today take a look at the Cover Feature. It's an article I wrote detailing the physics in Super Mario Galaxy. There's some source code with it as well which is nice for conceptual purposes. I didn't use Torque because I would have done this in the engine code which isn't free to pass around.

That was a nice little read Jeremy. My engineer partner was working on something like that with the normal facing and such, just couldn't get past some minor (yet noticeable) artifacts.
