bool sf::Sprite::CheckCollosion(Sprite param)
« on: March 20, 2008, 01:12:41 pm »
I would like to have a simple method for collision detection just like shown above.
I know it's better to implement collision detection by myself, but i think collision detection is a often used operation with Sprite's, so why don't implement a method, or more, into the Sprite class?
There could be some different methods with different precisions, like pixelwise, rectangular, ...
I whould like to use this methods while writing my games, and if I see my game works, I can still implement my own collision detection for my specific needs.
What do you think about it?

And execuse my bad school english, I have to work on it :oops:
Sorry, My english is not so good ^^

I'm thinking about adding some kind of intersection / visibility tests to drawables for next version. Still not sure about details for now.

Isen't there already one for rectangles, shouldn't that be sufficient?

No, drawables can be more than an axis-aligned rectangle. They can be rotated, have transparent pixels, have several convex shapes, etc.

What about using shapes to detect collisions?
And maybe providing a function that generates shapes from the non-transparent part of an image.
Like sf::Shape sf::Sprite::GetCollisionOutline(int Quality), where the quality parameter determines how detailed the shapes end up.
And then use bool sf::Shape::Collide(const sf::Shape& Other) and bool sf::Shape::IsPointInside(int X, int Y).
Shapes are quite flexible and can adapt almost any 2d geometry.

How do you build a collision outline from a sprite with random transparent pixels ?

And I think this interface would be too complicated for just simple collision tests.

Forget about the outline I'd say...one could add alpha and check if it's at any point above 1...but that would be an expensive operation.

Yea, I guess it depends on what kind of game you are creating.

Yep, maybe a function to generate collision outlines might be expensive.
But how to check on collisions between sprites otherwise (if not using just rectangles or pixel perfect collision detection)?
I have no idea...
Collision checking between shapes would still be a nice and useful feature, even if seen independent from the sprite issue.
Though I'm not sure how to implement it.

Sure, the implementation is complicated, but the interface itself?
I'm just curious what you are thinking of. :D
I guess I'll have to wait until you are done.

I'm still not sure about the interface, I haven't started to implement it.
