About This Book

Game dynamics has become increasingly important over the past few decades with the growth of computational power and the need to develop more realistic, engaging, and interactive environments. Computational Game Dynamics: Principles & Practice, presents an introduction to dynamic simulations for real-time gaming environments. We show simplified implementation examples in conjunction with key theoretical concepts to help the readers gain a practical understanding, while outlining pitfalls and engineering challenges. The readers are acquainted with basic principles all the way through to testing and coding practices. Numerous illustrations and explanations of working situations are presented to help the readers grasp particular fuzzy and thought-provoking topics. The book is organised into eight chapters that present a beginners introduction to core theories and their application in real-world physics-based problems that include collision detection, particles, rigid bodies, multi-body dynamics, and vector mathematics. Each chapter features simple examples that show the main ideas and procedures, as well as straightforward problems to facilitate learning and help the readers build a practical problem solving skills.

Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced professional seeking advanced knowledge, this book has something valuable to offer.

It completely transformed how I think about physics. Insightful. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. Each chapter was a revelation. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. It made me reflect on so many aspects of my life. Everyone should read this at least once.

So I picked up this book about simulation, and…Engaging. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. It’s one of those reads you can chill with. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. Good one to keep around when you want something casual.
