This course provides an overview of the physics systems and workflows in Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS). By the end of the course, learners will understand the design considerations of Unity Physics and Havok Physics, as well as how to optimize performance in DOTS-based projects. The course covers DOTS physics architecture, game code layer, simulation pipelines, speculative contacts, Havok configuration, tools for Unity Physics and Havok Physics, and more. The teaching method includes lectures and practical demonstrations. This course is intended for game developers, programmers, and Unity users interested in enhancing their understanding of physics systems in game development.
