    Hi,

    I am making a 2d top down game and I need to be able to detect the proximity of the walls from the front of a player (a sphere).

    What I mean is that imagine there was a straight line coming out of the front of the player. I want to find where that line intersects a wall.

    What would be the best approach for this?
