Hi James,

Yeah, the frame independent circle-line stuff from my book doesn't handle the tips of the line correctly. So that code, as-is, would not work well for you. I have since create a super robust physics engine that handles edgest, but at this time its kept close to the vest for Electrotank uses.

I'd recommend looking into FLADE to see if that is frame independent. I've seen it posted on this list but I haven't read the details.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Platform Game Collision Detection


Hi,

Thanks for this, although we decided to work with circle-line based detection as our game will require frame independent testing. If you're suggesting we drop circle-line detection in favour of bitmap based collision detection, how do you see it reducing the complexity of managing the reactions returned from circle-line collision with multiple objects?

Cheers,

J

Meta-tiles help to decrease the amount of collision dectection run per frame.

Additionally, bitmap collisions were always fast in Director, and the same holds true for Flash's bitmap stuff:
