While Computational Game Dynamics: Principles & Practice makes several valuable points about dynamics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of dynamics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to physics. That said, the sections on dynamics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in physics, this could be a truly outstanding work.

As a scholar in simulation, I found Computational Game Dynamics: Principles & Practice to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to dynamics is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of physics, which offers a compelling framework for understanding simulation. While some may argue that dynamics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about simulation.
