Example
// [x0,y0] to [x1,y1] define a line segment
// [cx,cy] is circle centerpoint, cr is circle radius
function isCircleSegmentColliding(x0,y0,x1,y1,cx,cy,cr){
// calc delta distance: source point to line start
var dx=cx-x0;
var dy=cy-y0;
// calc delta distance: line start to end
var dxx=x1-x0;
var dyy=y1-y0;
// Calc position on line normalized between 0.00 & 1.00
// == dot product divided by delta line distances squared
var t=(dx*dxx+dy*dyy)/(dxx*dxx+dyy*dyy);
// calc nearest pt on line
var x=x0+dxx*t;
var y=y0+dyy*t;
// clamp results to being on the segment
if(t<0){x=x0;y=y0;}
if(t>1){x=x1;y=y1;}
return( (cx-x)*(cx-x)+(cy-y)*(cy-y) < cr*cr );
}
