Collision normal for sphere near edge of triangle face
When my sphere (or bottom part of a capsule) moves with its bottom near the edge of a mostly horizontal triangle (a face of a heightmap), I am sometimes getting very bad (mostly horizontal) normals. ...

How do I resolve a collision in SAT-3D when the projection axis is zero?
I am doing SAT in 3D, right now just between cuboids/3D rects (idk the terminology). I have intersection working fully, and static collision works as long as the projection axis is not zero. But if it ...

Help finding bug in seperating axis theroem code
My collision detection is inconsistent. I am testing between 2 rectangles. When they are un-rotated, it says they are intersecting way before they touch, but when I rotate one, it works properly. I do ...

SAT - penetration and pull out vector based on previous body position
I implemented SAT alghorithm that is able to detect collisions and return shortest "pull out" vector.
On the screenshot below this vector is determined by yellow color (P and Q).
If I add Q ...

Can I test for containment of convex polyhedra with the separating axis theorem?
I would like to refine the output of the separating axis test to not only tell me whether convex polyhedron A intersects convex polyhedron B, but also whether A is completely inside B. Is it safe to ...
