Wotcha, folks.

I'm sure this must have been asked a 100 times, but I simply can't find any mention of what I'm specifically after.

I'm a BlitzBasic person trying to cut my teeth on DBPro. With BB, you had a very effective and simply collision commnd called...

rectsoverlap (x,y,20,20,x1,y1,20,20)

...which basically checks the position of two rectangles to see if they overlap.

Is there such a command in DBpro, or are all collision commands restricted to sprites?

Reason I ask, is that I'm trying to put together some background code of a 2D maze/platformer game, and I'm working with 'box'es at the moment, rather than sprites.

My code may better explain it.



Many thanks,

Tobo

There is no such command in DBP. However, it is very easy to make your own function to perform the same command.
Try this:

I am not sure how the parameters are set in Blitz but in my function they are:
x1 = Left of box 1
y1 = Top of box 1
w1 = Width of box 1
h1 = Heigth of box 1
etc ...
