Well, I figure theres some smart people here, someone may know the answer I need :) I'm basically just looking for a simple way to do collision detection between a circle and a rectangle in 2d. I can do collision detection between two circles, by comparing the sum of their radii with the distance between their centres, and collision between two rectangles is easy enough, but I just can't seem to get my head around how to do collision between a circle and a rectangle.

I tried googling, but most of the stuff that came up was usually way more complicated than what I need, or was about ways of optimising collision detection. I dont really care at this point if its not incredibly optimised, I just want to figure out how to do it first =\

does this help? it's in vb though http://www.rookscape.com/vbgaming/tutBU.php

how do you describe your rectangle?

Thats perfect, thanks. I guess my google skills just suck.

The shame, to be saved by a VB example :(

haha pwned by google!

if you bought a 4wd you wouldn't give a s*** about what you collided with

Much roffling at this :)

I run into small children with my 4wd ... they fit nicely under the wheels

ps. you really must suck at google
seems to list a heap of preferred algorithms for collision detection

I imagine if you plug those names into google you'll get much better results. Pivot2D seems to be popular from the few minutes google work I did.

pps. do your own damn homework!

They would have to be real small children too fit under there. I mean like asian small ...

Its not that I am racists but they are the only ones that fit under there nicely.

That has to be the stupidest post I have seen on QGL to date. Congrats.

this thread sucks
