[tutorial] Basic Collision Detection

[Cervantes]

you need collision detection for every single game well, every cool game.
when's the next part of the tutoiral coming out?

[shorthair]

do errors count as collision , cause i can make a game where ou ove my model around and you can go straight for about 20 minutes until it crashes , from an overflow , and its a really cool game , but not one peice of collision detection

[Cervantes]

no I don't think that really counts as collision
how could that game be fun?! what game is it? I honestly can't picture an entertaining game without somesort of collision.

Shorthair walks away with tears in his eyes as his dreams were shattered by a dirty dirty pirate , his hopes of making hte coolest game without collisions are gone

aren't most snake games tile based? so the snake head doesnt really "collide" with the food or its tail, it just occupies the same area... so yo just check where the the head tile is occupied by another tile that isnt empty... is that considered collision detection? meh i guess it is...


speaking of snake games, check out the one i made of this site...

Ya I think thats how snake games normall work.

but there are boundaries in snake , thus there is collision detection
