SOLVED! Thanks go to ThinkTank from Ziggyware.com for leading me down the right track. Here's the new code that only checks the viewable sprite area of the sprite sheet and allows 1x1 pixel collision! ...

Recently I used the official XNA 2D per pixel collision checker to replace my rectangle collision checker in my game. Now I find I have an issue with the fact that the XNA collision checker uses single sprites while I use a sprite sheet. Looking all over the internet I have yet to find anyone who has figured out/attempted to figure out a solution ...

I've been looking into Per Pixel Collision detection as well and though this thread is old I dunno if DragonXTC found a solution. So here's what I found: http://www.riemers.net/eng/Tutorials/XNA/Csharp/Series2D/Coll_Detection_Overview.php I've not delved into it very much right now as I'm looking for other collision ...

Problem solved. By moving the two code snippets that created the two string objects into the Object manager's update method I was able to both create them and update the info within them without any superfluous code. I was even able to delete my "Readout.cs" file as I no longer needed an in-between for the Font class and the object ...

This is how the Lander's speed is handled: ObjectManager - Set Speed 0 Lander - Pass Speed to Sprite Sprite - Pass Speed to Physics Physics - Set Speed to 0 Physics Update - Set Speed.Y += gravity (gravity = 0.02f) Sprite Update - Pass Speed to Lander Lander Update - Update Lander Speed.X and .Y with keyboard input ...

I did a search and didn't find anything that will help me with this as most strings are based on health or other set numbers that are then updated by collision detection or input and that's not what I need here. So here goes: I'm creating a Moon Lander clone (Atari, 1981) for practice on programming simple physics interactions and ...
