Example Games Dealing with General Relativity
Velocity Raptor – Online Flash Game
This is a game by TestTubeGames that covers some general consequences of general relativity, such as length contraction, time dilation, and the light doppler effect.
A Slower Speed of Light – Video Trailer
This is a game developed by the MIT Game Lab where the collectibles lower the speed of light, which allows the player’s normal speed to come close to the “universal speed limit”, creating more observable consequences of general relativity. This is open source, and works with Unity, so they allow anyone to access the coding behind it to use it as a sort of engine for a game.
Example games Dealing with Conservation of Energy and Temperature
PhET States of Matter Simulator – Online Simulation
This is an online simulation of different substances in different states of matter, and how altering the temperature and pressure changes how the particles of the substance move.
Total Energy Jump – Legends of Learning – Online Game
This is another Legends of Learning game. The player is a frog that has to jump from platform to platform, but each jump results in kinetic energy which heats the frog. When the frog overheats, the player must answer questions pertaining to energy to cool down and continue.
