+         The `collidepoint` method tests whether a given point is inside the `Circle`
+         (including the edge of the `Circle`). It takes a tuple of (x, y) coordinates, two
+         separate x and y coordinates, or a `Vector2` object as its argument, and returns
+         `True` if the point is inside the `Circle`, `False` otherwise.
