Collision Detection Between Two Rectangles
Jul 16th, 2007, 5:28am  
How would I test collision against two rendered rectangles? I'm doing a pong program for a game design class in which we rely solely on Processing as our development language, and I need to test collision against the ball (which is a rectangle) and paddles. As of now, all I've managed to do is create an invisible barrier starting at the x coordinates of the paddles, but I can't figure out a way to only constrain that to the front line of the rectangle. Is there any good way of doing this?

intersects(Rectangle r)
Determines whether or not this Rectangle and the specified Rectangle intersect.

Hope this helps you in some way Smiley
