 +===== What's the difference between Raycasting and Linetesting? =====
 +Raycasting and linetesting are two common techniques, while both techniques are used to determine if a line segment intersects with any objects in a scene, they have distinct differences in their approach.
 +
 +The main difference between raycasting and linetesting is that raycasting uses a single point to check for intersection, whereas linetesting uses a line segment. Raycasting is also faster than linetesting because it only needs to check a single point, whereas linetesting needs to check multiple points along the line segment. However, linetesting is more accurate because it checks the entire line segment for intersections, whereas raycasting only checks for intersections along a single ray.
