| Collision detection |
| cbx | I have gotten a basic phisics simulator to work but now I need a function that will return true or false weather or not a circle and rectangle have collided. I already know how to detect circle-circle and rect-rect collisions.
for example
[code]Dim Ret as Boonean
Ret = DetectCollision(Circle, Rect)[/code]
The function does not have to be absoluetly acurate it just has to be ... believable.
Has any one seen a function out there that would do this. BTW the collsition detection is in 2d so i don't need 3D although it might help.
Or no that I think of it has anyone seen a 2d triangle collision detector? THat would probubly help just as much. |
| Brykovian | In honor of one of your previous posts where you state that the tutorials at Lucky's site only server to annoy you ... I hereby give you a link to a tutorial at Lucky's site: [url]http://www.rookscape.com/vbgaming/tutBU.php[/url] ;) :D
It's one I wrote a while ago ... it gives a way to do circle-versus-rect detection, and also a way to approach specific types of triangles.
Hope it helps,

| cbx | ah yes I remember that one. ... Ahem ... where's the downloadable source code Brykovian, where's the downloadable source code? [:D]
I hate having to read thru what I consider to be lame tutorials all the time, because when I am looking to solve a problem all I want is a short application (100 lines of code or less) showing me how to do it. I am also of the opinion that all of the books about programming are 95% filler full of bla bla bla and only 5% actual content. Also why I deffinitly don't purchase programming books any more. Waste of friggan mula mula that they are. [:(!]

hhmmm, ... I can't remember how that saying goes exatly, or what the meaning was. ... yep you lost me on that one. [?] [V] |
| Brykovian | "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime."
Of course, that's the optimists version ... I've also heard the version that goes: "Give a man a fish ... and he just might slap you with it!" [:D]
