collideShapes

Fill out and return whether the shapes are within margin of touching.

Explained in Your first game, Rigid bodies.

function collideShapes(shapeA: ConvexShape, poseA: ShapePose, shapeB: ConvexShape, poseB: ShapePose, margin: number, out: Manifold): boolean

import { collideShapes } from '@driftengine/physics';

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`shapeA`	`ConvexShape`
`poseA`	`ShapePose`
`shapeB`	`ConvexShape`
`poseB`	`ShapePose`
`margin`	`number`
`out`	`Manifold`

In depth

A positive separation inside the margin is a speculative contact: the constraint will permit approach up to exactly that gap and no further, which is what gives continuous collision without a separate time-of-impact pass.
