I absolutely loved Contacts and Constraints! It completely changed my perspective on Physics Simulation. At first I wasn't sure about Game Engines, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Physics Simulation is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Physics Simulation. What I appreciated most was how the book made Game Development feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Contacts and Constraints offers a compelling take on Physics Simulation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computer Graphics is excellent, I found the sections on Numerical Methods less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Real‑Time Physics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Game Engines, if not the definitive work.
