Hey,

I'm trying to make a small top down game just for practice, but I'm already having trouble, I obviously don't want to let the player go through walls, so I made functions to prevent that. This is where I'm stuck. The functions work, the player isn't able to go through this particular wall (wallLeft), but I think they're extremely inefficient.

bool checkMoveDown(Vec2 pos)
{
pos.y -= 0.5 * Time.d();
if(Cuts(pos, wallLeft))
{
return false;
}

return true;
}

I made one of these for every direction to check if the player will hit a wall if it makes a move. There must be a better, more efficient way to do this.

Thanks in advance. (beginner)

It's not all bad.

A more generalized version could be something like:


Assuming walls is a container with your wall rectangles. As long as your example does not contain hundreds of walls there's no need to worry about performance.

Of course if you use physics these collisions could be handled automatically.

Thanks!
