sprite collision
« on: July 28, 2013, 05:31:54 pm »
Hi!

I'm looking for an easier way to manage the collosion of two sprites. at the moment, i use sprite.getposition().x/y of each sprite and compare the values with a certain tolerance:


Is there a function which compares the alpha channel of two sprites and spots a collision of them?
i need it especially for the collsion of round objects.

Nope sorry, the only built in collision functions are with IntRect to check for collision or intersection.  For any other shapes you'll need to do your own

IF you know for sure that the two objects are circles, you know that there is a collision is the distance of the two centers is less than, or equal, to the sum of the two radiuses. It will be much faster than doing complex pixel-perfect collision detection.
