While Computational Game Dynamics: Principles & Practice makes several valuable points about simulation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of physics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to physics. That said, the sections on simulation are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in dynamics, 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 simulation is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of simulation, which offers a compelling framework for understanding dynamics. While some may argue that simulation, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about simulation.

Computational Game Dynamics: Principles & Practice is a comprehensive exploration of simulation that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 7 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of simulation is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that the pacing could be better, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
