differ
A Separating Axis Theorem (SAT) collision detection library for Haxe, supporting convex polygons, circles, and rays in 2D.
What is differ?
Differ is a collision detection library for the Haxe programming language that implements the Separating Axis Theorem (SAT) to detect intersections between 2D shapes like convex polygons, circles, and rays. It solves the problem of determining when and how shapes overlap in a 2D space, providing detailed collision data such as separation vectors and overlap distances without handling physics responses.
Haxe developers building 2D games, simulations, or interactive applications that require precise and efficient collision detection, especially those who prefer to implement their own physics or response logic.
Developers choose Differ for its focused, lightweight approach to collision detection, offering a clean, framework-agnostic API optimized for performance with minimal allocations and reusable result caches, making it ideal for integrating into custom game engines or existing projects.
