Talk:Hit-testing

Article direction.

How much do we want to describe Hit-testing? Do we replicate books on the subject? Hit testing is a wide field, but it can also be organized into a hierarchy, from quick and simple geometry, to complex and varied geometry. However, the Axis Aligned Bounding Box code presented was incorrect, so I fixed it. But now I wonder why it is in Hit-testing at all, when there is sphere testing, quad/oct trees, spacial division algorithms, and more. The AABB article does not mention the simplicity of collision testing; it may be the most efficient way of detecting if a 2 or 3d volume intersects, and thus the first line of defense in an ever strict collision pipeline.

This paper claims that collision detection happens in two phases: the broad phase and the narrow phase. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.09663 As cited in the GJK article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert%E2%80%93Johnson%E2%80%93Keerthi_distance_algorithm

I want to discuss how to handle the architecture of collision detection, what can be cited, what it state of the art. But I don't know how useful it will be. Code is not verified by people who know code. Presumably book citations, published papers, and industry publications should describe rough concepts, but defer implementations to the sources.
