C++ SFML, Circular Movement - Help!

[Jycerian]

Anyone?

Maybe get the bounding box of the circle and set it to the same rotation as the rectangle? Then the side of the circle bounding box would be parallel with the nearest rectangle side, and regular rectangle to rectangle algorithms can then be used...I think.

Never done circle to rectangle myself so that's just a guess.  Obviously this won't extend to ellipses.

SAT can handle circles, though it's a bit harder than rectangles. It's covered here, though there are unfortunately no implementation details included:

Yeah I have seen that already, found some stuff about OBB and AABB etc. I shall  read up upon it soon.

I know you are having trouble your collision (and I really like the idea of circular pong). Anyways I wrote a simple version of pong that does what you are trying to achieve. If you want, you can see my version of it [full source code] here.
