QuickStart Guide to Game Physics is a comprehensive exploration of Game Physics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of Physics Engines 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 conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

As a scholar in Game Physics, I found QuickStart Guide to Game Physics to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Physics Engines is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Collision Detection, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Game Development. While some may argue that Realism, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Game Physics.

While QuickStart Guide to Game Physics makes several valuable points about Physics Engines, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Realism seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Unreal Engine. That said, the sections on Game Development are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Motion, this could be a truly outstanding work.
