Circle-Rectangle collision side detection in libgdx

Question

I have spent hours looking for the solution to this: I am developing a little top-down game with libgdx (maybe it matters what engine i am using). Now i have to implement th

Answer 1

I suppose you determine the collision by calculating the distance of the circles center with the lines. We can simplify the case and tell that the circle colliding with the corner if both distances are equal and smaller than the radius. The equality should have a tolerance of course.

More - may be not necessary- realistic approach would be to consider x,y speed and factor it in the equality check.
