The Definitive Guide I've Been Waiting For

From the moment I started reading, I could tell this book was different. With over 7 years immersed in physics and collision detection, I've seen my fair share of texts on physics, collision detection, but Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction's approach is refreshingly original. The discussion on physics challenged my assumptions and offered a new lens through which to view the subject. Having read numerous books on physics and collision detection, I can confidently say this is among the best treatments of physics, collision detection available. Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction's unique perspective comes from their 9 years of hands-on experience, which shines through in every chapter. The section on collision detection alone is worth the price of admission, offering insights I haven't seen elsewhere in the literature. This isn't just another book on physics, collision detection - it's a toolkit. As someone who's spent 14 years navigating the ins and outs of physics and collision detection, I appreciated the actionable frameworks and real-world examples. Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction doesn't just inform; they empower.

I'm curious - do you think the treatment of physics was intentional or more of a byproduct of the narrative?
