    Class SATAlgorithm :
        This class implements a narrow-phase algorithm. This algorithm
        uses a separating axis theorem (SAT) to check if two bounding
        volumes collide or not. If the
        two bounding volumes collide we have to create a contact object
        to describe the collision contact. The idea is to check if there
        exists an axis where, if we project the two bounding volumes on
        this axis, the two projections are separated. If we find at
        least an axis where the projections of the two bounding volumes
        are separated then we know that the two bounding volumes don't
        intersect.
