I absolutely loved Contacts and Constraints! It completely changed my perspective on Physics Simulation. At first I wasn't sure about Game Development, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Contact Resolution 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 Simulation Systems. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computer Graphics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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