to test collision i am using intersect function.

if(this.getBounds_ball().intersects(this.getBounds_rect())) 
{

but the problem is i dont know how to test where the ball is collision from. i was thinking it will have a if statment inside to check if ball is collsion from left. another for right, top and bottom. so 4 if statments? but i dont know how to code it. any ideas? any ideas?

I don't know if it's the best solution but I've used something similar. I found how much one object is overlapping the other and adjust accordingly.

xOverlap = boundsA.X - boundsB.X;
yOverlap = boundsA.Y - boundsB.Y;

then just watch those variables and you should be able to see where you stand. There's probably a better way though I'm still new.

  • ah i c, the overlaping is making sense but how to test if ball is touch it from left.
    i looked online for this but cant find any thing what i am looking for. all tutorial are just for basic intersects(). if you have a good link let me know.     – raven Mar 30 '13 at 02:41
