I used to think that alot of physics was bs until I found a tutorial on Box 2D physics.

The tutorials used real physics concepts, like momentum, coefficient of friction and others to simultate physical (mechanical properties of items on a computer).

I found the same in physically based rendering/ray tracing where real Physics concepts from how light behaves were used to create virtual simulations that resembled those in reality.

Here is my question, are there any resources on how someone can simulate \nsound using software. Like howling of wind, the sound from musical instruments.

Are there any good study resources, sample tools or theories (what is the "PBR or ray tracing of audio" ?)

What is this field called? I am assuming it has something to do with the physics field of acoustics?

The I would like to build a software tool for creating such audio simulation i.e a "box2d physics" library but for audio is the elevator pitch.

My son hasn’t really showed any interest in computers until now. He’s been spending a lot of time over the last couple of weeks designing some sort of a game (on paper) and now he wants me to help him build it, whatever it is. I don’t want to let him down but I also know how much work that goes into a game (he specifically wants it to be 3D).

I’m a decent developer, although I’ve not done game development professionally I did tons of demos on the 90’s so I feel I know the basics of 3D math but I’m pretty sure he will lose interest if I try to teach him x86 assembler :)

Joke aside, what can I do? This sounds like a great project for us to explore together and hopefully he can grow interest in software design and development.

Are there development kits I can start with (unity?)

How do I keep the project “contained” so he feels that he accomplished something but still feels we developed something close to his vision?
