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

As a scholar in physics, I found Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to collision detection 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 physics. While some may argue that collision detection, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about physics.

Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction is a comprehensive exploration of 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 collision detection 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains collision detection made everything click for me. I've been struggling with collision detection for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about physics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with collision detection. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
