Companion source code for the Game Physics Cookbook, a book teaching linear algebra, 2D/3D collision detection, and basic rigid body physics for games in C++. The code progressively builds a simple physics engine covering particles, rigid bodies, and cloth.

Use cases

• learn linear algebra for game development
• implement 2D and 3D collision detection between shapes
• build a rigid body physics engine from scratch
• learn intersection testing for rays, spheres, and bounding boxes
• study cloth and spring physics simulation
• reference code for game math primitives like vectors and matrices

When to choose

• you want to learn game physics and collision detection from first principles
• you need reference implementations of intersection tests between common primitives
• you are following the Game Physics Cookbook book

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready physics engine for a shipped game
• you need collision resolution features like stacking or joints at scale
• you need an actively maintained or licensed library
