Insightful, Practical, and Engaging

Having read numerous books on 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 can confidently say this is among the best treatments of Game Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body Simulation, Gravity, Motion, Game Development, Physics Engines, Realism, Simulation, Unity, Unreal Engine available. QuickStart Guide to Game Physics's unique perspective comes from their 17 years of hands-on experience, which shines through in every chapter. The section on Unreal Engine alone is worth the price of admission, offering insights I haven't seen elsewhere in the literature. I approached this book as someone relatively new to 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, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I grasped the concepts around Game Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body Simulation, Gravity, Motion, Game Development, Physics Engines, Realism, Simulation, Unity, Unreal Engine. QuickStart Guide to Game Physics has a gift for explaining complex ideas clearly without oversimplifying. The exercises at the end of each chapter were invaluable for reinforcing the material. It's rare to find a book that serves both as an introduction and a reference work, but this one does so admirably.

I think Gravity is one of those ideas that reveals more layers the more you reflect on it.
