ok, well it doesn't have to hit an edge. but i get the feeling the computer is rolling a pair of dice to see if it should report a hit.

this program needs a toggle to test both polygon collision object as polygons, not the first one as a polygon and the second as a sphere

testing for collision between the sphere and the triangle and then the triangle and the sphere seems to work, but collision detection between a polygonal box and a polygonal sphere is very spotty even using the above method and box collision for the box works even worse.

Don't be disheartened Large Mouse as Matthew D is in the process of putting together a whole new version that has different types of collision included. Its still being debugged but shows great promise.

Hello all,

The new DLL is ready. It doesn't have a ton of eye candy about it, but it's powerful nonetheless. It's worth a look:

Also, more powerful versions are on the way, so we should be able to eventually meet your need.
