What are some common collision detection techniques in C++?

What are some common collision detection techniques in C++?

Some common techniques include Axis-Aligned Bounding Box (AABB), Bounding Sphere, and Separating Axis Theorem (SAT).

Can you explain how the Axis-Aligned Bounding Box works?

Sure! AABB checks if two boxes overlap by comparing their min and max coordinates along each axis.

What about the Separating Axis Theorem?

SAT determines if two convex shapes overlap by projecting them onto potential separating axes and checking for gaps.

Are there any libraries in C++ that implement these techniques?

Yes, libraries like Box2D and Bullet Physics provide built-in support for various collision detection techniques.
