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 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of physics 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 more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While Computational Game Dynamics: Principles & Practice makes several valuable points about physics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of physics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to simulation. 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.
