Collision detection and letters
Dec 11th, 2009, 9:16am  
Hello, just want to see if anyone can point me in the right direction on  how to solve a problem.  I am creating an emulation of alphabet soup (basically letters floating around) but I want to create  a realistic collision for them (i do know that i can cheat it with a rectangular collision).  I am not sure how to do this.  THe letters are currently .png files that are rectangular with transparency around them.  Any help would be appreciated.

I don't mean to point you away from processing but, here's something you can look at: Phun, a 2-D physics sandbox. You can create liquids and letters.
