Pär Sikö
Pär is a passionate developer whoʼs been working
with client side Java for more than ten years and
that is hoping for another ten years filled with
challenges and new technology. Pär is a fast
learner with a need to always learn more and
never being satisfied, always wanting more. This
is a good thing since GUI programming always
ends up on pixel level where the details are of
utter most importance.

Realistic physics can add a new dimension to many traditional games, and enable a lot of new and creative game concepts. In this presentation we'll show how to integrate a physics engine into Android games and applications. We'll show features like gravity, collisions and joints, and explain how to use them. We'll finish off by showing a simple game incorporating all the topics we've covered, and sharing some valuable tips and tricks.
