This code was already posted in a thread started by Damo about pixel collision. It peaked my interested and I started the task myself and inadvertently hijacked his thread. But he didn't get a chance to posting any code before he disappeared again so all is good. I'm reposting it here in code snippets so hopefully others can find it more easily.

Currently, this works on any non-rotated sprites. I've posted the library code you need to include as well as a small demo. The general concept of my method is from blink0k's idea. I've written a short tutorial explaining the method and how it works. In short, a bit mask is created for each sprite (non-animated for now). It detects the overlapping area of the two sprites being checked and looks to see if any pixels in the bitmasks match up. If both pixels are a 1 in the mask at the overlapping position, then they've touched. The bitmask is just an array of simplified pixel data of the alpha channel; 0 is transparent, 1 is anything with an alpha value greater than 0. As we only need a single bit to represent each pixel in the mask, we store 32 pixels of information into a single integer. This cuts down big time on the memory usage and allows this method to be much more viable.

I'm currently working on rotation, so hopefully that will be an added feature in the near future.
