[Flashcoders] Platform Game Collision Detection

Hi folks, Re: the post earlier today - I managed to nail the collision detection, and now it works like a dream :) If there are any other beginners struggling with collision detection for scrolling tilebased games (particularly using Strille's supertile engine[1]), check out TonyPa's vector

[Flashcoders] Platform Game Collision Detection

Hello games people, Can anyone suggest a good resource/example of circle-line collision detection and reaction for platform games? We have been through lots of tutorials, including the ones in Jobe Makar's demystified book - the simple examples work fine, but we can't get the examples to

Re: [Flashcoders] Platform Game Collision Detection

Hey, thanks for this. In fact the collision detection is prohibitive; the woodpecker effect is the result of detecting more than one collision - ie, in both directions with a line, so it bounces back and forward not knowing which way to apply the radius 'buffer'. All of our code is using

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
