The Raycasting namespace provides functions for testing ray intersections with various shapes.

Raycasting is a technique used in real-time physics simulations and games to detect collisions between objects. It involves projecting a ray from an origin point in a certain direction, and checking if it intersects with any objects in its path.

Raycasting can be used for a variety of purposes, such as detecting line-of-sight, finding the distance between two objects, and determining the surface normal of a collision. In games, it's often used to simulate realistic lighting and shadows, as well as to detect collisions between a player and the environment or other game objects.

For example, in a first-person shooter game, raycasting can be used to determine whether a bullet fired by the player hits an enemy or not. Similarly, in a racing game, it can be used to detect collisions between a player's car and other objects on the track.

Overall, raycasting is a powerful technique for simulating physics in real-time applications and games, and it has a wide range of practical uses.
