Collision
-
I see what you are getting at, but could you give me a look at the code, just a simple snippet?
It's even easier than I thought: Rectangle rc1 = new Rectangle(0, 0, 20, 20); Rectangle rc2 = new Rectangle(19, 21, 5, 5); if (rc2.IntersectsWith(rc1)) { // match }

Are you serious? :|

Wait, but when I run the program, you can't see the rectangles. It's probably supposed to do that, but how do you use both collision and drawing? I get them seperate, but... Thnks for the help so far though.

Please see my response to your other post to get an idea on how to do this.

Like I said, Invalidate() forces a paint. And what Pete said, I was gong to say, too. You should have a collection of objects that know how to draw themselves. Your paint event should step over that collection, and pass the drawing to them. This lets you easily add as many rectangles as you like, and your paint event stays clean, no matter how many shapes you add in the future.

I only said it because you are busy racking up about 1000 posts a day now (at least that's how it seems to us mortals).:)

LOL - either way, I thought to say it and didn't, so it was a fair addition to what I posted, I should have mentioned it. It's nice to see MasterSharp both taking my advice to read some books, and starting to ask more complex questions ( which I assume means he's learning something from the books he's reading ). I feel pretty happy to think that someone actually came here wanting to learn and not just to be given code. BTW, Nish pointed out to me that I've gone over the 40,000 post mark. That's got to be a sign that I need to get a life.

I know - it's always nice to see them grow up. BTW - I haven't forgotten your CD, it's just that we're stuck in the middle of a damn postal strike here in the UK. I don't want it to "get lost" in the post.

OK, cool. LMK when that resolves itself.

I've been reading this Dummies book for starters, (that's to the same people, they KNOW who they are...), but anyways, I'm trying to figure out some simple kind of collision detection for 2 squares, not per pixel. I've got some to work, but I need to know the correct way to do this, so if anyone would teach me a little on collision, I'd be very happy. Thanks in advance.
FYI - If you are interested in theory with a little code - mind you it is C++ but that's not important, check out the book "Beginning Math and Physics for Game Programmers" by Wendy Stahler. It is pretty good and might help you with game development. ISBN is 0-7357-1390-1. Anyhow, I found it to be invaluable in my game/physics programming. Good Luck!

Definitely a nice change :)

What are you talking about 100 posts a day. I know I'm VERY questioning, but not that many even for exagerations (probably killed that), and I've calmed down a bit and took to a book!

Okay, I have just one more question about the this whole mess. After you assign the graphics...
private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics G = e.Graphics; G.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black, 3), 15, 15, 200, 150); G.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), 15, 15, 200, 150);(for example) ... how do you name those rectangles? -

Not you - Chris. He's the most prolific poster on CodeProject.

That's the spirit. I buy (and read) 3 or 4 computer texts every other month. Hopefully that helps to keep me sharp.

If you want to hold the instance of your pens for further use, you have to hold the m as local members of your class. Same to Rectangles. But you have to dispose (free the resourcess) them in the dispose method of your class (Form).
System Drawing.Rectangle rectangle1 = System Drawing.Rectangle.Empty; System Drawing.Rectangle rectangle2 = System Drawing.Rectangle.Empty; System.Drawing.Pen penBlack = new Pen(Color.Black, 3); System.Drawing.Pen penRed = new Pen(Color.Red, 3); //You could also use only one pen and Change the Color like you need! private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics actGraphics = e.Graphics; rectangle1 = new System Drawing.Rectangle(15, 15, 200, 150); rectangle2 = new System Drawing.Rectangle(35, 35, 200, 150); actGraphics.DrawRectangle(penBlack , rectangle1); actGraphics.DrawRectangle(penRed , rectangle2); } protected override void Dispose( bool disposing ) { if( disposing ) { if(components != null) { components.Dispose(); } if(penBlack !=null) penBlack.Dispose(); if(penRed !=null) penRed.Dispose(); } base.Dispose( disposing ); }If you not want to hold the instances (not suggested in this case), you would have to dispose the pens write after usage in your Paint event. A using block will do that automaticaly.private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics actGraphics = e.Graphics; using(System.Drawing.Pen penBlack = new Pen(Color.Black, 3)) using(System.Drawing.Pen penRed = new Pen(Color.Red, 3)) { rectangle1 = new System Drawing.Rectangle(15, 15, 200, 150); rectangle2 = new System Drawing.Rectangle(35, 35, 200, 150); actGraphics.DrawRectangle(penBlack , rectangle1); actGraphics.DrawRectangle(penRed , rectangle2); } }Hope it helps!All the best, Martin

That just helped a lot, and there's SIMPLE collision detection! All I fond was 50 lines of code that was... extremely confusing and hard, but thatnks again to everyone who replied... Time to continue reading.
