Collision Detection

From GPWiki

Collision detection is the process of determining whether objects in the game world are intersecting or will be intersecting soon. This is used to make objects react to each other in a more or less convincing way. The wiki has the following articles on the subject:

• Pixel collision detection with SDL
• Collision detection between 2d convex polygons
• Rectangular and circular collision detection in VB
• 2d convex polygon intersection in C - this is a C version of the VB code above. Also called the "Oriented Bounding Box" (OBB) test.
