XNA Tile Collision

Question

I drew tiles in my XNA game and uploaded my character. My character, however, does not move - the card does, which gives it the illusion of movement. Now I wonder how to actually test them for a collision. I mean, where does the collision code go and how to make all the tiles "one big thing"?

Answer 1

There's a pixel-based collision detection tutorial at XNA Creator Club. You will need to figure out which objects you want to use to detect conflicts. I think you want the character to move across the tiled background, so you don’t want to check for a conflict between your character and the background. Instead, you should make sprites with obstacles and detect collisions on them.

You can take a look at the Nick Gravelyn Tile Engine Tutorials , it goes through the whole process of creating a mosaic engine. There is a link here to view all the tutorials on YouTube.

Rectangles have the intersection method. If your player is centered and you know the coordinates, scroll through other textures and check the intersection before scrolling the map.
