I'm trying to make a very simple game. Basickally, the two players try to catch a carrot that's moving and bouncing off the walls. When a player touches the carrot, they get a point. My problem is I don't know how to use collision rectangles and how to tell if the carrot is dead or alive. I can move the player characters and I can make the carrot move and bounce.

I've completed the XNA Beginner's Video Tutorial twice but I can't seem to dumb down how they used collision.

Even if i could get it to work using only one player and the carrot, I'd be very happy.

Also, a quick response would be much appreciated as I need this within 24 hours.

Thanks for any replies.

This aptly titled tutorial on the Creators Club site is not good enough?

Ah, I'm sorry. I've been up for 16 hours straight when i asked. I did a search and a turtorial titled that kept popping up, but whenever I clicked on it it said it no longer existed...

Thank you.
