How do I implement collision detection in my game?

Collision detection can be implemented using various methods like bounding boxes, pixel-perfect detection, or physics engines. What type of game are you working on?

I'm making a 2D platformer. What method would you recommend?

For a 2D platformer, using axis-aligned bounding boxes (AABB) is a common and efficient method. It simplifies the calculations needed for detecting collisions.

Can you explain how AABB works?

Sure! AABB works by defining a rectangle around your game objects. You check if the rectangles overlap to determine a collision. If they do, you can then handle the collision response.

What if I want more precise collision detection?

For more precision, you might consider using pixel-perfect collision detection, which checks the actual pixels of the sprites. However, it can be more computationally expensive.
