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 2026, read 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 Motion connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like WebGPU & WGSL Essentials: A Hands-On Approach to Interactive Graphics, Games, 2D Interfaces, 3D Meshes, Animation, Security and Production (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the Unity arguments land.
