只是这个线程的一个补充… 下面是pahlevan发布的代码版本，但针对c# /XNA，并做了一些整理:

在此post circle中，通过检查圆心与线段上的点(Ipoint)之间的距离来检查线碰撞，该点表示从圆心到线段的法线N(图2)之间的交点。

在图像1中显示一个圆和一条直线，向量A指向线的起点，向量B指向线的终点，向量C指向圆的中心。现在我们必须找到向量E(从线起点到圆中心)和向量D(从线起点到线终点)这个计算如图1所示。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/7098a.png)

在图2中，我们可以看到向量E通过向量E与单位向量D的“点积”投影到向量D上，点积的结果是标量Xp，表示向量N与向量D的直线起点与交点(Ipoint)之间的距离。 下一个向量X是由单位向量D和标量Xp相乘得到的。

现在我们需要找到向量Z(向量到Ipoint)，它很容易它简单的向量加法向量A(在直线上的起点)和向量x。接下来我们需要处理特殊情况，我们必须检查是Ipoint在线段上，如果不是我们必须找出它是它的左边还是右边，我们将使用向量最接近来确定哪个点最接近圆。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/p9WIr.png)

当投影Xp为负时，Ipoint在线段的左边，距离最近的向量等于线起点的向量，当投影Xp大于向量D的模时，距离最近的向量在线段的右边，距离最近的向量等于线终点的向量在其他情况下，距离最近的向量等于向量Z。

现在，当我们有最近的向量，我们需要找到从圆中心到Ipoint的向量(dist向量)，很简单，我们只需要从中心向量减去最近的向量。接下来，检查向量距离的大小是否小于圆半径，如果是，那么它们就会碰撞，如果不是，就没有碰撞。

最后，我们可以返回一些值来解决碰撞，最简单的方法是返回碰撞的重叠(从矢量dist magnitude中减去半径)和碰撞的轴，它的向量d。如果需要，交点是向量Z。

我根据chmike给出的答案为iOS创建了这个函数

+ (NSArray *)intersectionPointsOfCircleWithCenter:(CGPoint)center withRadius:(float)radius toLinePoint1:(CGPoint)p1 andLinePoint2:(CGPoint)p2
{
    NSMutableArray *intersectionPoints = [NSMutableArray array];

    float Ax = p1.x;
    float Ay = p1.y;
    float Bx = p2.x;
    float By = p2.y;
    float Cx = center.x;
    float Cy = center.y;
    float R = radius;


    // compute the euclidean distance between A and B
    float LAB = sqrt( pow(Bx-Ax, 2)+pow(By-Ay, 2) );

    // compute the direction vector D from A to B
    float Dx = (Bx-Ax)/LAB;
    float Dy = (By-Ay)/LAB;

    // Now the line equation is x = Dx*t + Ax, y = Dy*t + Ay with 0 <= t <= 1.

    // compute the value t of the closest point to the circle center (Cx, Cy)
    float t = Dx*(Cx-Ax) + Dy*(Cy-Ay);

    // This is the projection of C on the line from A to B.

    // compute the coordinates of the point E on line and closest to C
    float Ex = t*Dx+Ax;
    float Ey = t*Dy+Ay;

    // compute the euclidean distance from E to C
    float LEC = sqrt( pow(Ex-Cx, 2)+ pow(Ey-Cy, 2) );

    // test if the line intersects the circle
    if( LEC < R )
    {
        // compute distance from t to circle intersection point
        float dt = sqrt( pow(R, 2) - pow(LEC,2) );

        // compute first intersection point
        float Fx = (t-dt)*Dx + Ax;
        float Fy = (t-dt)*Dy + Ay;

        // compute second intersection point
        float Gx = (t+dt)*Dx + Ax;
        float Gy = (t+dt)*Dy + Ay;

        [intersectionPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(Fx, Fy)]];
        [intersectionPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(Gx, Gy)]];
    }

    // else test if the line is tangent to circle
    else if( LEC == R ) {
        // tangent point to circle is E
        [intersectionPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(Ex, Ey)]];
    }
    else {
        // line doesn't touch circle
    }

    return intersectionPoints;
}

这里你需要一些数学知识:

假设A = (Xa, Ya)， B = (Xb, Yb)， C = (Xc, Yc)。从A到B的直线上的任意一点都有坐标(*Xa + (1-)Xb， * ya + (1-)*Yb) = P

如果点P的距离是R到C，它一定在圆上。你想要的是解决

distance(P, C) = R

这是

(alpha*Xa + (1-alpha)*Xb)^2 + (alpha*Ya + (1-alpha)*Yb)^2 = R^2
alpha^2*Xa^2 + alpha^2*Xb^2 - 2*alpha*Xb^2 + Xb^2 + alpha^2*Ya^2 + alpha^2*Yb^2 - 2*alpha*Yb^2 + Yb^2=R^2
(Xa^2 + Xb^2 + Ya^2 + Yb^2)*alpha^2 - 2*(Xb^2 + Yb^2)*alpha + (Xb^2 + Yb^2 - R^2) = 0

如果你将abc公式应用到这个方程来求解，并使用alpha的解来计算P的坐标，你会得到交点，如果存在的话。

我写了一个小脚本，通过将圆的中心点投影到直线上来测试相交。

vector distVector = centerPoint - projectedPoint;
if(distVector.length() < circle.radius)
{
    double distance = circle.radius - distVector.length();
    vector moveVector = distVector.normalize() * distance;
    circle.move(moveVector);
}

http://jsfiddle.net/ercang/ornh3594/1/

如果需要检查与线段的碰撞，还需要考虑圆心到起点和终点的距离。

vector distVector = centerPoint - startPoint;
if(distVector.length() < circle.radius)
{
    double distance = circle.radius - distVector.length();
    vector moveVector = distVector.normalize() * distance;
    circle.move(moveVector);
}
