It's really simple, probably ineffective, untested, won't work with scaled, rotated, or stretched sprites, and requires you use a colorkey or something.

I hope it's not illegal to name it with the db prefix. I did that for simplicity.



Fixed a couple syntax errors. I'm bad at that.

Untested, colorkey or something? Is this your code?

Yep, it's mine. I meant by that, you need to specify which color is considered transparent, so it doesn't test collision on that color.

I'm lazy, I wrote it for SushiBox. I'm a little busy, can't take the time to set up something to test it. Sorry.

Update: I am testing this with a single image overlay for setting up a collision mapping layer by color. A quick way to do this is create your whole level on one image and replace the transparent section of your .PNG with the selected color key. I am going to further work on this. Once completed and perfected, this should really be added to the DarkGDK library. Per pixel collision is a vital building block in any 2D game.

This makes traveling up slopes/hills in 2D Side Scrolling games much easier. Also less intensive than calling each image for collision. Kudos to Zuka for the code.

Knowing full well that I'm not going to have time to respond to this before I leave for vacation I'm going to offer the following.

Forget about pixel collisions. Use an internal map of your own design. If it's tile based just keep track of the beginning and end points of the tile and have a structure that describes the nature of the surface or obstructions within each tile type. Program around this rather than trying to extract pixels from the screen.
