Rectangle intersection

[cobrapitz]

Hello,
i need help to solve this problem..

My problem is the fact that my mouse intersects with a rotated rectangleshape as if it would be a non-rotated square 


so my question is how to cut this off ( for my collision detection )?

Just google this up, there are tons of solutions out there, probably also here on the forums, too.

I'm pretty sure SFML supports this:

rect.getGlobalBounds().contains(mousePos);

Nothing to add to Geheim's post. The algorithm is pretty basic and can be found easily with Google.

SFML doesn't support rotated rectangles. The global bounds of a rotated entity is the axis-aligned bounding box of the entity's bouding box -- the outer rect in cobrapitz's drawing.

Ah, right.  It should work for sprites though.

Not if they are rotated.
