Think of it as a friendly deep-dive into Game Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body Simulation, Gravity—with enough structure to skim and enough depth to grow into.
ISBN: 9798264282454 Published: May 14, 2025 Game Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body Simulation, Gravity, Motion, Game Development, Physics Engines, Realism, Simulation, Unity, Unreal Engine
What you’ll learn
Turn Collision Detection into repeatable habits.
Build confidence with Realism-level practice.
Spot patterns in Rigid Body Simulation faster.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Who it’s for
Students who need structure and memorable examples. Skimmers and deep divers both win—chapters work standalone.
How to use it
Skim the headings, then re-read only what sparks a decision. Bonus: end sessions mid-paragraph to make restarting easy.
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the Simulation connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like Special Effects Programming with WebGPU (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
