about collision detection

Well, it''s pretty self-explanatory With collision detection, you *detect* *collisions*. I''m assuming that you''re using 2d, so you''d be checking for collisions between two rectangular sprites in a method called bounding box collisions. There''s tons of stuff on the net if you search for it, but if you need help, email me (look on my profile).

Good luck,

Hi !

I learned everything I know about collision detection on www.flipcode.com. They have the best tutorials on the web about 2D & 3D collision detection !

You can also download a triangle class from my site, it handles nearly all of the (3D) math for you. Check out my demo glTrinity (with source) to see a working example of 3D collision detection.

This is an ultra-complex topic where lots of scientific reasearch is going on. You''ll find lots of papers on the web that deal with advanced collision detection systems... so be sure you have a solid knowledge of vector math and linear algebra before you start ;-)
