collision detection

Hi,

I'm writing a graphical program in which I let shapes (rectangles, regions, ...) move around.

how can I detect if two shapes 'collide' ?

thanks
Chris

Re: collision detection

Test first to see if the bounding rectangles collide using
rectangle.inter sectswith , if they do, generate regions and see if the
intersections of the two regions is empty or not. If it isn't empty they
collided.
