 [[Ray]]'s are a useful tool for testing if geometry intersects a line of sight with [[Collider.rayCast]]. You can think of them as a point in space with a direction.
 
+Examples where ray casting can be useful
+* Custom physics implementations (platformers, slopes, etc)
+* Line of sight AI
+* Proximity detection
+
+:::warning
+
+If you start a raycast from inside an [[Actor]] it will hit that Actor first unless you explicitly exclude it. See Raycast Options below. 
+
+:::
+
+## Scene Testing
+
+It is possible to test against all actors in a [[Scene]] at once.
+
+```typescript
+
+// given a scene reference
+const game = new ex.Engine({...});
+game.start();
+
+
+const ray = new ex.Ray(ex.vec(100, 100), ex.Vector.Right);
+game.currentScene.physics.rayCast(ray, {...});
+
+// or in a custom scene
+class MyScene extends ex.Scene {
+
+  someRayTestMethod() {
+
+    const ray = new ex.Ray(ex.vec(100, 100), ex.Vector.Right);
+    this.physics.rayCast(ray, {...});
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+## Scene Raycast Options
+
+Excalibur's raycast can be optionally configured in a variety of ways. By default if no options are provided to the `rayCast(ray, ...)` the options will be
+
+```typescript
+const hits = scene.physics.rayCast(ray, {
+  searchAllColliders: true,
+  collisionGroup: CollisionGroup.All,
+  collisionMask: CollisionGroup.All.mask,
+  ignoreCollisionGroupAll: false,
+  maxDistance: Infinity,
+  filter: null,
+})
+```
+
+### Search All Colliders
+
+By default the raycast will not stop after the first hit is found, if you'd like to only get the first hit set `searchAllColliders: false`
+
+### Max Distance
+
+Distance is in terms of pixels, this is the maximum length along the ray to search for colliders.
+
+### Hit Filtering
+
+Using the `filter` option you can do complex filtering logic to reject or accept potential hits.
+
+```typescript
+scene.physics.rayCast(ray, {
+  filter: (potentialHit: RayCastHit) => {
+    // return true to accept the hit
+    // return false to reject the hit
+    return true;
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Collision Mask
+
+The collision mask it a bit mask with a 1 in the place for each collision group category you'd like to consider in the raycast. For example this is useful if all your enemies share a collision group category. See [collision group documentation](/docs/collisiongroups/) for more information.
+
+You may want to pair this with `ignoreCollisionGroupAll: true` to avoid default actors which collide with everything including specific rayCast masks.
+
+```typescript
+const playerGroup = new ex.CollisionGroup('player', 0b0001, ~0b0001); 
+const enemyGroup = new ex.CollisionGroup('enemy', 0b0010, ~0b0010);
+...
+
+// this raycast will only actors with the 1 in the second place, so enemyGroup
+const enemyHits = scene.physics.rayCast(ray, {
+  collisionMask: 0b0010;
+});
+
+// this raycast will only actors with the 1 in the first and second place, so playerGroup and enemyGroup
+const playerAndEnemyHits = scene.physics.rayCast(ray, {
+  collisionMask: 0b0011;
+});
+```
+
+### Collision Group
+
+The `collisionGroup` searches for actors that match a specific collision group.
+
+You may want to pair this with `ignoreCollisionGroupAll: true` to avoid default actors which collide with everything including specific rayCast groups.
+
+## Specific Actor Geometry Testing
+
+If you have a specific actor or geometry that you know you will test against, all [[Collider]] types implement `rayCast(ray, [maxDistance])`.
+
 ```typescript
 const actor = new ex.Actor({
   pos: ex.vec(200, 100),
