Collision Detection between two images in Java

Question

I have two characters displayed in a game I am writing  the player and the enemy  defined as such   public void player Graphics g        g drawImage plimg  x  y  this      public void enemy Graphics g        g drawImage enemy  200  200  this       Then called with   player g   enemy g     I am able to move player   around with the keyboard  but I am at a loss when trying to detect a collision between the two  A lot of people have said to use Rectangles  but being a beginner I cannot see how I would link this into my existing code  Can anyone offer some advice for me

No need to use rectangles     compare the coordinates of  2 players constantly   like  if x1   x amp  amp y1  y   remember to increase the range of x when ur comparing   if ur rectangle width is 30 take as if  x1 gt x amp  amp x2 gt x 30   likewise y

I think your problem is that you are not using good OO design for your player and enemies  Create two classes   public class Player       int X      int Y      int Width      int Height          Getters and Setters    public class Enemy       int X      int Y      int Width      int Height          Getters and Setters     Your Player should have X Y Width and Height variables   Your enemies should as well   In your game loop  do something like this  C     foreach  Enemy e in EnemyCollection        Rectangle r   new Rectangle e X e Y e Width e Height       Rectangle p   new Rectangle player X player Y player Width player Height           Assuming there is an intersect method  otherwise just handcompare the values     if  r Intersects p                   A Collision            we know which enemy  e   so we can call e DoCollision           e DoCollision              To speed things up  don t bother checking if the enemies coords are offscreen

First  use the bounding boxes as described by Jonathan Holland to find if you may have a collision   From the  multi-color  sprites  create black and white versions  You probably already have these if your sprites are transparent  i e  there are places which are inside the bounding box but you can still see the background   These are  masks    Use Image getRGB   on the mask to get at the pixels  For each pixel which isn t transparent  set a bit in an integer array  playerArray and enemyArray below   The size of the array is height if width  lt   32 pixels   width 31  32 height otherwise  The code below is for width  lt   32   If you have a collision of the bounding boxes  do this      Find the first line where the two sprites might overlap int linePlayer  lineEnemy  if  player y  lt   enemy y        linePlayer   enemy y - player y      lineEnemy   0    else       linePlayer   0      lineEnemy   player y - enemy y    int line   Math max linePlayer  lineEnemy       Get the shift between the two x   player x - enemy x  int maxLines   Math max player height  enemy height   for   line  lt  maxLines  line              if width  gt  32  then you need a second loop here     long playerMask   playerArray linePlayer       long enemyMask   enemyArray lineEnemy          Reproduce the shift between the two sprites     if  x  lt  0  playerMask  lt  lt   -x       else enemyMask  lt  lt  x         If the two masks have common bits  binary AND will return    0     if   playerMask  amp  enemyMask     0               Contact             Links  JGame  Framework for Small Java Games

Since Java doesn t have an intersect function  really    you can do collision detection by simply comparying the X and Y  Width and Height values of the bounding boxes  rectangle  for each of the objects that could potentially collide   So     in the base object of each colliding object    i e  if your player and enemy have a common base you can put a simple Rectangle object called something like BoundingBox   If the common base is a built in Java class then you ll need to create a class that extends the build in class and have the player and enemy objects extend your new class or are instances of that class   At creation  and each tick or update  you ll need to set the BoundingBox paremeters for both your player and enemy   I don t have the Rectangle class infront of me but its most likely something like X  Y  Width and finally Height   X and Y are that objects location in your game world   The width and height are self explanatory I think   They ll most likely come out from the right of the players location though so  if the X and Y were bothe at 0 and your Width and Height were both at 256 you wouldn t see anything because the character would be at the top left outside of the screen   Anyways    to detect a collision  you ll want to compare the attributes of the player and enemy BoundingBoxes   So something like this      if  Player BoundingBox X   Enemy BoundingBox X  amp  amp  If  Player BoundingBox Y   Enemy BoundingBox Y              Oh noes   The enemy and player are on top of eachother       The logic can get sort of complicated but you ll need to compare the distances between each BoundingBox and compare locations

Since Java doesn t have an intersect function  really    you can do collision detection by simply comparying the X and Y  Width and Height values of the bounding boxes  rectangle  for each of the objects that could potentially collide   So     in the base object of each colliding object    i e  if your player and enemy have a common base you can put a simple Rectangle object called something like BoundingBox   If the common base is a built in Java class then you ll need to create a class that extends the build in class and have the player and enemy objects extend your new class or are instances of that class   At creation  and each tick or update  you ll need to set the BoundingBox paremeters for both your player and enemy   I don t have the Rectangle class infront of me but its most likely something like X  Y  Width and finally Height   X and Y are that objects location in your game world   The width and height are self explanatory I think   They ll most likely come out from the right of the players location though so  if the X and Y were bothe at 0 and your Width and Height were both at 256 you wouldn t see anything because the character would be at the top left outside of the screen   Anyways    to detect a collision  you ll want to compare the attributes of the player and enemy BoundingBoxes   So something like this      if  Player BoundingBox X   Enemy BoundingBox X  amp  amp  If  Player BoundingBox Y   Enemy BoundingBox Y              Oh noes   The enemy and player are on top of eachother       The logic can get sort of complicated but you ll need to compare the distances between each BoundingBox and compare locations

No need to use rectangles     compare the coordinates of  2 players constantly   like  if x1   x amp  amp y1  y   remember to increase the range of x when ur comparing   if ur rectangle width is 30 take as if  x1 gt x amp  amp x2 gt x 30   likewise y
