Worth Every Penny and Then Some

From the moment I started reading, I could tell this book was different. With over 6 years immersed in Game Physics and Collision Detection and Rigid Body Simulation and Gravity and Motion and Game Development and Physics Engines and Realism and Simulation and Unity and Unreal Engine, I've seen my fair share of texts on Game Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body Simulation, Gravity, Motion, Game Development, Physics Engines, Realism, Simulation, Unity, Unreal Engine, but QuickStart Guide to Game Physics's approach is refreshingly original. The discussion on Realism challenged my assumptions and offered a new lens through which to view the subject. As someone with 5 years of experience in Game Physics and Collision Detection and Rigid Body Simulation and Gravity and Motion and Game Development and Physics Engines and Realism and Simulation and Unity and Unreal Engine, I found this book to be an exceptional resource on Game Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body Simulation, Gravity, Motion, Game Development, Physics Engines, Realism, Simulation, Unity, Unreal Engine. QuickStart Guide to Game Physics presents the material in a way that's accessible to beginners yet still valuable for experts. The chapter on Motion was particularly enlightening, offering practical applications I hadn't encountered elsewhere.
