Collision Detection & Response

Ah yes the area of game development that usually has a game programmer pulling his or her hair out at 3am. These days collision detection is usually handled by a 3rd party library like the ever popular Havoc or Bullet  physics. I was working on an XNA based project and needed some basic collision detection to move around a world of oriented bounding boxes where the player is a sphere. A few days of research and comming to a good understanding of the Separating Axis Theorem and I came up with a working demo shown at the bottom of the post.  

In my research I found the following links that I think may be useful to others
