Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction
A high-signal read built around physics, collision detection. It feels current because it aligns with read, 2026, excerpt, yet timeless because it focuses on fundamentals.
ISBN: 9798246414033 Published: January 28, 2026 physics, collision detection
What you’ll learn
Spot patterns in physics faster.
Turn collision detection into repeatable habits.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Build confidence with collision detection-level practice.
Who it’s for
Busy builders who want quick wins without fluff. Great for 10–20 minute daily sessions.
How to use it
Pair it with a timer: 12 minutes reading + 3 minutes notes. Bonus: use the nested reviews below to pick chapters first.
I’ve already recommended it twice. The physics chapter alone is worth the price.
