Seperating Axis Theorem Code
Post: #1
I have spent the last few weeks creating this C++ function and I'd like to share it with everyone here. The code is properly (I think) commented but definitely works. Use it for whatever you want.
This particular function will tell you if a AABB and a triangle are intersecting but can easily be modified (see the comments at the start of the triangle box function) to use any 3D n-vertex shapes.
It uses Dave Eberly's (?) Seperating axis theorem.
I have optimized it a little (obj1flag,obj2flag) but not any more than that.
Enjoy:

{
// first project all of the vertices onto the axis;
float min1, max1; // the two minimum and maximum projections for object 1
float min2, max2; // the two minimum and maximum projections for object 2
min1 = min2 = INFINITY;
max1 = max2 = -INFINITY;
int counter; // this is used to iterate through all of the vertices of both objects
obj11D.resize(0); // clears both arrays of projected vertices
obj21D.resize(0); // " " " " " "
for ( counter = 0; counter < obj1.size(); counter++)
// for every vertex in object 1...
obj11D.push_back(axis.dot(obj1.at(counter)) / axis.sqrlen() );
// project it onto the axis specified and then store the result in obj11D
for ( counter = 0; counter < obj11D.size(); counter++)
{
// now check if all of the projected 1D vertices are the min or max
if (obj11D.at(counter) < min1)
min1 = obj11D.at(counter);
if (obj11D.at(counter) > max1)
max1 = obj11D.at(counter);
}
for ( counter = 0; counter < obj2.size(); counter++)
obj21D.push_back(axis.dot(obj2.at(counter)) / axis.sqrlen() );
// do the same: project the vertices of the second object onto the same axis...
for ( counter = 0; counter < obj21D.size(); counter++)
{
// .. and find the min and max of those vertices.
if (obj21D.at(counter) < min2)
min2 = obj21D.at(counter);
if (obj21D.at(counter) > max2)
max2 = obj21D.at(counter);
