Rectangular collision detection is a must-know when it comes to video game development. It's a way to tell when two objects touch, so you can call some sort of reactionary event in return, such as gaining a power-up, or ending the game. Here I'll show you how rectangular collision detection works from a high-level perspective, then walk you through how to implement the effect using HTML canvas and JavaScript.

6:40 - Detection on the y-axis (with x-axis)

I appreciate you adding in the part about using variables or OOP to make the code cleaner / more dynamic. Great tutorial as always. This reminds me of the c++ code I had to write in highschool back in 2003 ish when we made pong and had to detect if the ball hit the paddle.

No problem-getting the code as clean as possible is almost just as important as learning the concept itself. Wanted to keep things as succinct as possible and not dive down any OOP rabbit hole.

@tomergngn Жыл бұрын

something you can do to simplify the code if you want to work efficiently, is to follow the following steps. Let the width of the rectangles be w, and their x coordinates be x1 and x2. we know as proven in this video that when the rectangles collide, the following statements are true: 1. x1 + w >= x2 2. x1

Only works if the object have the same sizes.

Great video! Would love to see one for arbitrary polygons.

@ChrisCourses 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Andre! Collision detection for arbitrary polygons actually use, drum roll please, rectangles! You can create detection for complex shapes, but its typically CPU intensive and hard to actually implement. Therefore developers use rectangular hit-boxes as a way to get more precise detection. Check this article out and scroll down to the hitbox section to see what I mean-lots of good info in here: spicyyoghurt.com/tutorials/html5-javascript-game-development/collision-detection-physics

But in case that we need to detecte which side wetouching what is the best methode? to know which velocity to reset to 0 bc if i can move my character with AWSD , i need to know which side of my rec is touching to know which key to restrect from moving

Can you please do collision avoidance? I don’t wanna rectangles overlap each others on mouse movement.

@ramlaaal 5 ай бұрын

condition for collision is too lengthy we could use this instead. Math.abs(mouse.x - (canvas.width/2 - 50))
