Laser.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
Laser.setSize(sf::Vector2f(700, 10));
Laser.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Transparent);
Laser.setOutlineThickness(4);
sf::RectangleShape enemy;
enemy.setFillColor(sf::Color::Magenta);
enemy.setSize(sf::Vector2f(10,10));
enemy.setPosition(300, 300); else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Space))
Laser.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(snakebody.getPosition()));
if(sf::Vector2f(Laser.getPosition()) == (sf::Vector2f(enemy.getPosition())))
window.close(); // Window Close is just to test and see if its I want to make it so that if any part of Laser(including the transparent outline) touches (enemy) than the window will shut down...What i have runs fine and is syntactically correct. But the way im doing it. I believe Laser and enemy's position and size would have to be exactly the same for the window to close. The close is just a test by the way, ill add what i actually want it to do after i figure this out. Thanks for any help. Snakebody is a 10x10 rectangle moveable "character". and the laser shoots from the right side. So whereve the character is the laser will shoot from that place. My style is disgusting, i know. I hope its not too hard to read those few lines.

well to check for collision you can do it many ways, you can check if a point is inside a rectangle, for example, if you take the X, Y, Width and Height of a object you can find out a rectangle,
X = 0
Y = 0
Width = 10
Height = 10
thats a 10 by 10 rectangle,
now if we had a block that is at position (2,4) with a width of 1 and height of 1, we will have a collision
now to do this you have to do a if statement
we have snake and block
snake[x = 0,y = 0,width = 10,height = 10]
block[x = 2,y = 4,width = 1,height = 1]
lets check for a point is inside a rectangle
if((block.x >= snake.x || block.x <= snake.w + snake.x) == true && (block.y >= snake.y || block.y <= snake.height + snake.y) == true)
{
//we have a collision
}
let me know if you need anymore help. Hope this helps

Both of you please make use of the code=cpp tag, it makes reading stuff so much more enjoyable. ;)
As for collision detection, google will give you tons of links, so will the forum search function. Afaik there's even a tutorial in the wiki about this.
The most easiest collision detection is to check if two rectangle intersect or if a point is inside a rectangle. For both the sf::Rect has a function (intersect(), contains()) so you only have to generate two rectangles and check for 9ntersection. But keep in mind this detection can fail at higher movement speed. ;)

A simple solution, is to enlargen the rect if your pacman is going at high speed.
float speed;
if( pacman.getVecloity > 10) speed = 30;
else if (pacman.getVelocity > 15) speed = 45;
sf::FloatRect(pacman.getPosition + speed, etc);
As exploiter says there are tons of guides and/or ready made functions floating around on the web, so feel free to use one of them if you don't want make your own.

Thanks exploit! is there any way to choose the color when using rect<T>??
-
Ehrm sf::Rect<T> is just a 'mathematical object' you can draw it or anything, so no there's no sense in it having a property for color. Also there's the documentation (http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.0/) where you can look up exactly what functions a class has. ;)

That's my way how to check the collision between the player (spaceship) and every asteroid im looping through:
void PlayState::CheckCollisions()
{
std::list<Asteroid>::iterator It;
for(It = asteroids.begin(); It != asteroids.end(); It++)
{
if(It->getPos().x <= playerRect.left + playerRect.width &&
It->getPos().x + It->getRect().width >= playerRect.left &&
It->getPos().y <= playerRect.top + playerRect.height &&
It->getPos().y + It->getRect().height >= playerRect.top) {
// asteroid collides player
It = asteroids.erase(It);
playerLives--;
if (playerLives == 0)
gameOver = true;
Lives.setString("Lives: " + toString(playerLives));
}
}
}
