After completing this chapter, you will be able to

• Recognize the significant computational complexity and cost of simulating real-world physical interactions

• Understand that typical game engine physics components approximate physical interaction based on simple geometries such as circles and rectangles

• Implement accurate collisions of circle and rectangular ...
