We pick items that overlap the title/keywords to show relevance.
From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the compute arguments land. (Side note: if you like Beginner's Guide to Game Animation Programming, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
