AGEIA Empowers Professional Software Developers to Create Even More PhysX Applications Royalty Free.New End User License Agreement Terms Brings Every Developer the Power of PhysX MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- AGEIA AGEIA America Germany Egypt India America ([TM]) Technologies, Inc., the pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for games, today announced that it has implemented a new End User License Agreement (EULA (End User License Agreement) The legal agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser of software. It is either printed somewhere on the packaging or displayed on screen at time of installation, the latter being the better method, because it cannot be avoided. ) that allows the PhysX[TM] SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). to be used and its runtime components distributed in all commercial and non-commercial PC projects - completely royalty free. The new EULA allows game developers of any size to harness the power of the physics in their titles with a simple, no-fee license. "Now every game developer can implement the leading physics solution in their products easily and free-of-charge," said Manju Hegde, Co-Founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AGEIA Technologies.

"As the new key tool for dynamic and interactive realism, in-game physics is going to play a larger role in the development of video games See video game console. in the coming months and years," said Dr. Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research, the multimedia marketing research firm. "Making it possible for developers to use PhysX, without any fees, is going to lead to a raft of new games and implementations beyond gaming that many of us haven't even yet thought of." "With PhysX already integrated into our Dark Physics toolkit, our customers have experienced the power and ease of use that AGEIA's technology brings to game development," said Lee Bamber, CEO of The Game Creators. "By allowing all developers to freely use its powerful PhysX software with the simple inclusion of a short EULA in the installer, AGEIA has opened up the ability to slide new levels of realism and interactivity into future titles to the entire gaming community A gaming community is usually a group of like minded individuals working towards a goal (such as promoting fair play and team work) or supporting each other within games (usually online video games such as MMORPG's or FPS's) RTS(real time strategy) games are developing larger ." AGEIA PhysX puts the power of physics in the hands of developers, dramatically enhancing and accelerating the development of cutting edge games and complex physics-based environments by enabling real-world, real-time dynamic motion and interaction on a massive and persistent scale. PhysX software easily integrates into existing production pipelines, reducing the overall time it takes to create immersive game-play experiences. The PhysX processor further accelerates high quality and truly representative simulations, and brings new dimensions to the gaming experience, including collisions, explosions, complex jointed geometries, fabrics that drape drape v.

PhysX software supports wide variety of PC and console platforms and is poised to become the de-facto standard for physics simulation for the game industry.
