I absolutely loved QuickStart Guide to Game Physics! It completely changed my perspective on Game Physics. At first I wasn't sure about Computer Graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Programming is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Collision Detection. What I appreciated most was how the book made Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

QuickStart Guide to Game Physics offers a compelling take on Game Physics, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Simulation & Modeling is excellent, I found the sections on Simulation less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Rigid Body Simulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Computer Graphics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Game Development, if not the definitive work.
