Collision detection sfml 2.0

[Christopher Jozwiak]

How would i perform a simple box collision detection in sfml?

[Jebbs]

The sf::Rect class has the methods Rect.contains and Rect.intersects, so for basic collision detection I would say that's a good place to start.

Maybe my small example could give you some insights.
But keep in mind that it's not finished at all.

Okay what I'm trying to do is make a classic Snake game.  I think i would need to use something like object.GetGlobalBounds().contains().  Then I'm unsure what to put in the contains function.  I put in a number and a point?  What would the point be?

[eXpl0it3r]

You should start using the documentation, which explains what a class/function does.

The contains() function either takes 2 floats or a sf::Vector2f and simply checks if a point (defined by the 2 floats or the sf::Vector2f) is within the sf::Rect that is returned by getGlobalBounds(), which essentially the bounding box of the sprite, describe in the 'world' coordinates.

Okay so I tried
^{if (object.getGlobalBounds().intersects( player.getGlobalBounds())){
            
            touching = true;
         }
         if (touching == true){
            player.move(0,0);
         }}

move(0,0) moves the object 0 pixels to the right and 0 pixels down = nothing.

[Christopher Jozwiak]

Never mind.  Made a statement print out on the command line if the collision was true.  I just think my player.move method needs to be changed.  When the event polls i think it overruns the collision and the player keeps moving despite the player.move(0,0).

Thanks, that is a great example to study!
