A Slower Speed of Light is a game developed by the MIT Game Lab and it aims to make the crazy world of special relativity relatable to everyday experience. You can experience the Doppler effect, the searchlight effect, time dilation, Lorentz transformation and the runtime effect all rendered in realtime. And all of this in the familiar setting of a first person platform game with loads of colorful, vibrant giant mushrooms.
You can download the game for free here and study physics all night long.
(Btw, the game is open-source and the code will be released soon. so if you would like to develope a game with an engine that renders relativistic physics in real time…)
