Building a Rust Physics Engine with SAT Collision Detection

This article walks through creating a Rust physics engine by implementing collision detection using the Separating Axis Theorem, covering point extraction, vector math, projection, overlap checks, and handling both rectangle‑rectangle and circle‑square collisions with complete code examples.
