1. You have been tasked with developing an efficient but accurate collision
detection system for a 2D game that involves an animated character
catching a small ball (see diagram below). The player is able to control
the motion of the character, including the angle of the hand relative to
the rest of the arm. Provide the key components of a collision detection
algorithm for this scenario that would ensure it was as efficient as
possible while still being reasonably accurate.
