One of my favorite books is Real-Time Collision Detection[1] which covers this and other adjacent topics(like cache line aware data structures!). I generally refer to it as "data structures for 2D/3D" and I think only the Art of Electronics has more value on a page-by-page basis for the domains I've enjoyed.

NB: there is a planned 2nd edition without the involvement and against the wishes of the author :(

I'm surprised there was never a 2nd edition in the past 20 years.


I think the advice and mechanics are timeless. This is robust CS and Math stuff which stood the test of time. And this makes the book itself so valuable. I own it.


Note that there may be a 2nd edition coming but any release is against Christer Ericson's wishes and he's not involved: https://twitter.com/ChristerEricson/status/10504887470100602...


Nice, I literally just asked the OP to provide a link! Thank you!


Yep that's the book.


This is a damn good book. I always recommend it to colleagues.
