Directly to the "Point" This is a short but great book about 2D collision detection. I have been searching for this material for a long time. Couldn't find a similar text on the internet and all the other books about collision detection focus on 3D. If you are developping collision for 2D games, this book is a must have.The algoritms proposed in the book for doing Rect-Rect and Circle-Rect collision detection are way simpler than the ones I was using on my engine. And for reference, my previous algoritms were taken from "The Wi. Good but falls short This books explains well part of the problem of collision detection in games, which is checking if two objects intersect with each other. However it has nothing about the other half of the problem: resolving the collisions. That means that unless your game is very simple, and by simple I mean simpler than Breakout / Arkanoid, you will need another book or spend hours on the internet looking for more detailed information about it.. Dennis McKinley said This is the best book if you want to start learning "This is the best book if you want to start learning 2D collision detection." according to Dennis McKinley. I was searching for tutorials about how to deal with 2D collisions in game code. After some Internet research I was more puzzled than before. Despite there are plenty of tutorials and articles about collision detection online, I wasn't sure how they should go together. What's more, the majority of articles discussed just collisions of This is the best book if you want to start learning 2D collision detection.

Despite there are plenty of tutorials and articles about collision detection online, I wasn't sure how they should go together. What's more, the majority of articles discussed just collisions of 3D objects. So I went on, searching for a book about 2D collision detection and found this one.Initially I was irritated about the short length of the book. But after readi. D objects.
