Can you name any uses for dot product or cross product in video games?
Kumar25dec
The dot product can be used as a half space test. A half space test can be used to determine if an object, lets say a zombie, is in front of the player (or camera) or behind it. If my player's forward vector is P and the vector from the player to the zombie (zombie's position - player's position) is Z, then dotting P and Z would give me the angle between the two vectors. If the angle is positive our player is facing the zombie, otherwise the zombie is behind us (never turn your back on a zombie!).

Name any uses for dot product or cross product in video games?
The cross product is used to find surface normals of triangles (the building blocks of objects in 3D games). Those surface normals can then be used in dot product tests with the camera to test if the normal is facing the camera or not. If the dot product angle is positive then the normal is facing the same direction as the camera, so the triangle does not need to be drawn (because it cannot be seen). If the angle is negative, then the two vectors are pointing at each other and the triangle may need to be rendered. These methods not only apply to camera viewing, but also to lighting and physics calculations as well.
