Box

  • Box is a mathematical representation used for intersection and collision tests with oriented boxes.

  • It provides constructors to create boxes with specified centers and sizes, defaulting to (0,0,0) and (1,1,1) respectively.

  • Public methods allow access and modification of the box's center, rotation, and size.

  • getExtents() calculates and returns a vector representing half the size of the box.

  • makeCopy() creates a copy of the current Box object.
