I am making my own collision
detection in MonoGame. I have a PolyLine class That has a property to return the normal of that PolyLine instance. I have a ConvexPolySprite class that has a List LineSegments. I hav a CircleSprite class that has a Center Property and a Radius Property. I am using a static class for the collision
detection method. I am testing it on a single line segment. Vector2(200,0) = Vector2(300, 200)
The problem is it detects the collision anywhere along the path of line out into space.
I cannot figure out why.
Thanks in advance;
