[Super-tux-devel] Gameloop Rewrite Status

[Tobias <tob...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm making progress and you'll probably see the next CVS commit
tonight. I'm currently thinking about the new collision detection
and decided to move them all into one place. (i.e. collision.c/h ?)
We need a function, wich can do collision detection, but there are many
possibilities on how to do this.

One possibility is to check if the "rectangle" of an object hits the
"rectangle" of another object, like we currently do, but I don't like
this method, because it isn't very precise. On the other hand it's
relativly fast.
 
The other way to do collision detection would be a pixel-per-pixel
solution, where we test, if two non-alpha pixels hit each other.
Maybe someone has already written such a function or a class in C++,
which could be ported.

My experience in this area is low (tux bless google), but I guess
some of you have experience and can give me some hints and tips. :)

Greetz...
