<p>There is a book about real-time collision detection that contains a variety of algorithms for all sorts of intersection tests and lists a large number of collision detection algorithms. It's a decent overview if that's what you are looking for:</p>

<p>I found many sites, books and articles, all about especifics algorithms, I listed some of them (like <em>bounding boxes</em>, <em>bounding spheres</em>, <em>octrees</em> and <em>KD-tree</em>), but any of these founds lists every algorithm for collision detection, and thats what I need.</p>

<p>Someone knows the name of all algorithms (or at least some of them, any other algorithm would help) for collision detection, or knows where I can find it?</p>

Also look into GJK and MPR (minkowski portal refinement)

I found many sites, books and articles, all about especifics algorithms, I listed some of them (like *bounding boxes*, *bounding spheres*, *octrees* and *KD-tree*), but any of these founds lists every algorithm for collision detection, and thats what I need.

Someone knows the name of all algorithms (or at least some of them, any other algorithm would help) for collision detection, or knows where I can find it?
