Collision Detection between two images in Java - java

I have two characters displayed in a game I am writing, the player and the enemy. defined as such:
public void player(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(plimg, x, y, this);
}
public void enemy(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(enemy, 200, 200, this);
}
Then called with:
player(g);
enemy(g);
I am able to move player() around with the keyboard, but I am at a loss when trying to detect a collision between the two. A lot of people have said to use Rectangles, but being a beginner I cannot see how I would link this into my existing code. Can anyone offer some advice for me?

I think your problem is that you are not using good OO design for your player and enemies. Create two classes:
public class Player
{
int X;
int Y;
int Width;
int Height;
// Getters and Setters
}
public class Enemy
{
int X;
int Y;
int Width;
int Height;
// Getters and Setters
}
Your Player should have X,Y,Width,and Height variables.
Your enemies should as well.
In your game loop, do something like this (C#):
foreach (Enemy e in EnemyCollection)
{
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(e.X,e.Y,e.Width,e.Height);
Rectangle p = new Rectangle(player.X,player.Y,player.Width,player.Height);
// Assuming there is an intersect method, otherwise just handcompare the values
if (r.Intersects(p))
{
// A Collision!
// we know which enemy (e), so we can call e.DoCollision();
e.DoCollision();
}
}
To speed things up, don't bother checking if the enemies coords are offscreen.

First, use the bounding boxes as described by Jonathan Holland to find if you may have a collision.
From the (multi-color) sprites, create black and white versions. You probably already have these if your sprites are transparent (i.e. there are places which are inside the bounding box but you can still see the background). These are "masks".
Use Image.getRGB() on the mask to get at the pixels. For each pixel which isn't transparent, set a bit in an integer array (playerArray and enemyArray below). The size of the array is height if width <= 32 pixels, (width+31)/32*height otherwise. The code below is for width <= 32.
If you have a collision of the bounding boxes, do this:
// Find the first line where the two sprites might overlap
int linePlayer, lineEnemy;
if (player.y <= enemy.y) {
linePlayer = enemy.y - player.y;
lineEnemy = 0;
} else {
linePlayer = 0;
lineEnemy = player.y - enemy.y;
}
int line = Math.max(linePlayer, lineEnemy);
// Get the shift between the two
x = player.x - enemy.x;
int maxLines = Math.max(player.height, enemy.height);
for ( line < maxLines; line ++) {
// if width > 32, then you need a second loop here
long playerMask = playerArray[linePlayer];
long enemyMask = enemyArray[lineEnemy];
// Reproduce the shift between the two sprites
if (x < 0) playerMask << (-x);
else enemyMask << x;
// If the two masks have common bits, binary AND will return != 0
if ((playerMask & enemyMask) != 0) {
// Contact!
}
}

You don't want to have the collision check code inside the painting code. The painting needs to be fast. Collision can go in the game loop. Therefore you need an internal representation of the objects independent of their sprites.

Here's the main class from my collision detection program.

Since Java doesn't have an intersect function (really!?) you can do collision detection by simply comparying the X and Y, Width and Height values of the bounding boxes (rectangle) for each of the objects that could potentially collide.
So... in the base object of each colliding object... i.e. if your player and enemy have a common base you can put a simple Rectangle object called something like BoundingBox. If the common base is a built in Java class then you'll need to create a class that extends the build in class and have the player and enemy objects extend your new class or are instances of that class.
At creation (and each tick or update) you'll need to set the BoundingBox paremeters for both your player and enemy. I don't have the Rectangle class infront of me but its most likely something like X, Y, Width and finally Height. X and Y are that objects location in your game world. The width and height are self explanatory I think. They'll most likely come out from the right of the players location though so, if the X and Y were bothe at 0 and your Width and Height were both at 256 you wouldn't see anything because the character would be at the top left outside of the screen.
Anyways... to detect a collision, you'll want to compare the attributes of the player and enemy BoundingBoxes. So something like this...
if( Player.BoundingBox.X = Enemy.BoundingBox.X && If( Player.BoundingBox.Y = Enemy.BoundingBox.Y )
{
//Oh noes! The enemy and player are on top of eachother.
}
The logic can get sort of complicated but you'll need to compare the distances between each BoundingBox and compare locations.

Here's a useful of an open source game that uses a lot of collisions: http://robocode.sourceforge.net/
You may take a look at the code and complement with the answers written here.

is there a problem with:
Rectangle box1 = new Rectangle(100,100,100,100);
Rectangle box2 = new Rectangle(200,200,100,100);
// what this means is if any pixel in box2 enters (hits) box1
if (box1.contains(box2))
{
// collision occurred
}
// your code for moving the boxes
this can also be applied to circles:
Ellipse2D.Double ball1 = new Ellipse2D.Double(100,100,200,200);
Ellipse2D.Double ball2 = new Ellipse2D.Double(400,100,200,200);
// what this means is if any pixel on the circumference in ball2 touches (hits)
// ball1
if (ball1.contains(ball2))
{
// collision occurred
}
// your code for moving the balls
to check whether youve hit the edge of a screen you could use the following:
Rectangle screenBounds = jpanel.getBounds();
Ellipse2D.Double ball = new Ellipse2D.Double(100,100,200,200); // diameter 200
Rectangle ballBounds = ball.getBounds();
if (!screenBounds.contains(ballBounds))
{
// the ball touched the edge of the screen
}

Use a rectangle to surround each player and enemy, the height and width of the rectangles should correspond to the object you're surrounding, imagine it being in a box only big enough to fit it.
Now, you move these rectangles the same as you do the objects, so they have a 'bounding box'
I'm not sure if Java has this, but it might have a method on the rectangle object called .intersects() so you'd do if(rectangle1.intersectS(rectangle2) to check to see if an object has collided with another.
Otherwise you can get the x and y co-ordinates of the boxes and using the height/width of them detect whether they've intersected yourself.
Anyway, you can use that to either do an event on intersection (make one explode, or whatever) or prevent the movement from being drawn. (revert to previous co-ordinates)
edit: here we go
boolean
intersects(Rectangle r)
Determines whether or not this Rectangle and the specified
Rectangle intersect.
So I would do (and don't paste this code, it most likely won't work, not done java for a long time and I didn't do graphics when I did use it.)
Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(player.x, player.y, player.width, player.height);
Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(enemy.x, enemy.y, enemy.width, enemy.height);
//detects when the two rectangles hit
if(rect1.intersects(rect2))
{
System.out.println("game over, g");
}
obviously you'd need to fit that in somewhere.

No need to use rectangles ... compare the coordinates of 2 players constantly.
like
if(x1===x&&y1==y)
remember to increase the range of x when ur comparing.
if ur rectangle width is 30 take as if (x1>x&&x2>x+30)..likewise y

It's Java code for collision of two or more ImageViews not rectangles or other,use ImageViews Instead.
1.This code of Collision works every where in any views or layouts.
2.Add a timer to repeat it and to detect collision repeatedly.
3.It only works with views and layout.
if ((getLocationX(_v1) > (getLocationX(_v2) - ((_w2*3) + 40))) && (getLocationX(_v1) < (getLocationX(_v2) + ((_w2*3) +40)))){
if ((getLocationY(_v1) > (getLocationY(_v2) - ((_h2*3) + 40))) && (getLocationY(_v1) < (getLocationY(_v2) + ((_h2*3) +40)))){
showMessage("Collided");
}
}

My bouncing ball is meant to bounce between 200x200 window's borders.
I'v managed to make him stop and change direction when he touches the right and bottom borders.
But when he reaches the top and left borders, a 1/4 of the ball goes through the border and only then it changes direction.
I have no idea why it happens, I mean it's literally the same code lines for each border.
How can it even be that for the same code it will work differently?
I went through lots of codes around the net about this topic, and tried every solution or code, and it's still stays the same.
Thanks.

return new Point(p.getX() + dx, p.getY() + dy);

this.setVelocity(-(this.getVelocity().dx), this.getVelocity().dy);

r = radius of the ball.
"this.center" = the center point of the ball.

}

I mean it's literally the same code lines for each border
And that would be the problem. How can it be the same because you have different situations?
When the ball moves to the right/down the x/y values increase.
When the ball move to the left/up the x/y values decrease.
if (this.center.getX() + this.getVelocity().dx < 0) {
I would guess that should be:
if (this.center.getX() - this.getVelocity().dx - r < 0) {
This assumes that the "center" is actually the center of the circle.
Edit:
Also:
this.setVelocity(-(this.getVelocity().dx), this.getVelocity().dy);
}
if (this.center.getX() + this.getVelocity().dx < 0) {
this.setVelocity(-(this.getVelocity().dx), this.getVelocity().dy);
How can the x velocity change be negative in both cases.
When moving to the right you go from a positive velocity to a negative velocity
So when going to the left should you not be going from a negative velocity to a positive velocity?

Ok so here's the working code:
public void moveOneStep(int startX, int height, int startY, int width) {
if (this.center.getX() + this.getVelocity().dx + r >= width) {
this.setVelocity(-1 * (this.getVelocity().dx), this.getVelocity().dy);
}
if (this.center.getX() + this.getVelocity().dx - r <= startX) {
this.setVelocity(-1 * (this.getVelocity().dx), this.getVelocity().dy);
}
if (this.center.getY() + this.getVelocity().dy + r >= height) {
this.setVelocity(this.getVelocity().dx, -1 * (this.getVelocity().dy));
}
if (this.center.getY() + this.getVelocity().dy - r <= startY) {
this.setVelocity(this.getVelocity().dx, -1 * (this.getVelocity().dy));
}
moveOneStep();
}
The problem was not the code but the starting point I entered to check the circle.
You can't give the circle a starting center point of lets say (20,50) if the Radius is 30.
Why?
Because then the circle will be out of bounds right from the beginning, because he has a starting center point of 20,50, and radius of 30, which means his left radius will reach (-10, 50). And that's why I had many problems.
You always should check if the starting point fits the radius.

I am currently working on a 3 cushion billiards game project. I have added two balls on the table so far. I am trying to move one of the balls but I am having a hard time doing that. Should I use a timer? If so then could you tell me an effective way to use the timer on my code so I can move my balls?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hopefully, I can have two movable balls for the game, the should bounce back as the hit the edge of the screen and they should be able to slow down over time. For that, I am thinking to use a damper (I will multiply the xSpeed and ySpeed with a number less than 1, eventually it will slow down the ball)

Here is a simple example I came up with to show a ball moving and bouncing off the edges.
The direction changes based on the boundary. Left and top edges just check for 0. Bottom and right edges need to include the diameter of the ball.
The x and y increments are independent. And these amounts in conjunction with the timer can change the movement. Notice however, that to have objects bounce off of each other (as in a pool game) is more complicated due to angle of trajectories, etc. And the distances bounced will vary and slow with time based on frictional values. Everything else is documented in the Java API.

It seems in general there are a few things you need to figure out:
has the ball collided with another ball
has the ball collided with a wall
otherwise just figure out what is the ball's new position based on its velocity
Below is some sample code that stubs some of this out. You can first compare the current ball's position to all others (not including the current ball of course). If there are any equal positions, process a collision with a ball. If the ball is at the window border i.e it hit a wall, process a collision with a wall. Otherwise just calculate its new position based on its current velocity.
The process collision part is just to apply physics mechanics to whatever degree of complexity you require. One general suggested change would be to update the velocity of the balls then apply it to the position after. The specific calculations for velocity changes you could apply as needed and as you can imagine it can get pretty involved which is why I suggest using a separate method and possibly a sub class for velocity instead of managing each part of the velocity vector in the ball itself. I used the wall as an object because of this. The composition, weights, velocities etc of the object's colliding can affect the resulting collision, but how complex you want that processing to be is up to you.
Sorry I'm no physics expert but I hope this sends you in the right direction in terms of code! Also this might help with the specific calculations you might want to use:
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/one-dimensional-motion/displacement-velocity-time/v/calculating-average-velocity-or-speed

{
// check if balls are on same position not including this ball
for(Ball b: ballArray){
if (this.position == b.position && this != b){
processCollision(this, b, null);

// if the ball hasn't collided with anything process its movement based on speed
// this assumes a 1000 x 1000 window for keeping objects inside it
if(this.ballX < 1000 - this.ballWidth && this.ballY < 1000 - this.ballHeight){
this.ballX += this.xSpeed;
this.ballY += this.ySpeed;
}else {
processCollision(this, null, new Wall());
}
}
}
try
{
Thread.sleep(1);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
public void processCollision(Ball b1, Ball b2, Wall w){
// if ball hasn't collided with a wall, process a ball - ball collision
if(w == null){
// apply physics mechanics according the complexity desired for ball collisions
b1.xSpeed -= b2.xSpeed;
b1.ySpeed -= b2.ySpeed;
// ball 2 would end up slowing down
b2.xSpeed -= b1.xSpeed;
b2.ySpeed -= b1.ySpeed;
}
// if ball hasn't collided with a ball, process a ball - wall collision
if(b2 == null){
// apply physics mechanics for hitting a wall
// e.g as below: just send ball in opposite direction
b1.xSpeed = b1.xSpeed * -1;
b1.ySpeed = b1.ySpeed * -1;
}
// either way, process ball's new position based on its new speed
b1.ballX += b1.xSpeed;
b1.ballY += b1.ySpeed;
b2.ballX += b2.xSpeed;
b2.ballY += b2.ySpeed;

im trying to make the bouncing ball bounce on the arrays of rectangles. I've looked at various other codes but cant seem to find a solution. Would appreciate any help!!!
Basically, i want the bouncing ball to recognise that theres the rectangles there and for it to be able to jump onto the rectangles.

The best advice we can give you is to break your problem down into smaller steps and to take those steps on one at a time.
For example, can you create a simple sketch that just shows a single hard-coded circle and a single hard-coded rectangle? Now add some code that prints a message to the console if they're colliding. You're going to have to do some research into collision detection, but here's a hint: a common technique is to treat the ball as a rectangle, so you can do rectangle-rectangle collision detection.
Get that working perfectly by itself, and then work your way forward in small steps. Can you add a second rectangle to your sketch? How about a third?
Then if you get stuck, you can post a MCVE (not your whole project, just a small example) along with a more specific question. Good luck.

Here's a few suggestions:
You're best off using a Rectangle class. That way, you don't have to store the locations in an array, and the collide function can be a method of the class. It's easier to just call the positions of the rectangles "x" and "y", but this would obviously conflict with the x and y global variables which you declared at the top of the code. Assuming that you would want to make the ball bounce if it collided, you would need to have a "ballLastx" and a "ballLasty" in order to keep track of which direction the ball came from. You would also need to store the Rectangles in an array or arrayList. It would be something like this:
PVector lastLocation;
Rectangle[] rects;
As for the rectangle class, here's how it would probably look like this:
class Rectangle {
float x, y;
Rectangle(float x_, float y_) {
x = x_;
y = y_;
}
void show() {
//Displays rectangle
if (x < 100 && x+100 > 100) fill(255,0,0);
else fill(255);
rect(x,y,100,1200);
fill(255);
x=x-4;
if (x + 100 < 0) x+=2000;
}
private boolean insideX(PVector pos) {
return (pos.x + 15 >= x && pos.x - 15 <= x+100);
}
private boolean insideY(PVector pos) {
return (pos.y + 15 >= y && pos.y - 15 <= x + 1200);
}
boolean collidedX() {
//Detects if the ball has collided along the x-axis
return ((insideX(location) && !insideX(lastLocation)) && insideY(location))
}
boolean collidedY() {
//Detects if the ball has collided along the y-axis
return ((insideY(location) && !insideY(lastLocation)) && insideX(location))
}
}
And then, in your setup function, you could declare the Rectangle classes in a for-loop:
//declare the rects array
rects = new Rectangle[20];
//declare each item of the rects array to be a Rectangle
for(int i = 0; i < rects.length; i++) {
rects[i] = new Rectangle(i*100, 750-int(random(0,10))*50;
}
In order to detect the collision and to bounce the ball, you would need to loop through all of the Rectangles and see if the ball should bounce off any of them:
boolean bouncex = false;
boolean bouncey = false;
//see if any of the rects are colliding with the ball
for(Rectangle r : rects) {
if(r.collidedX()) bouncex = true;
if(r.collidedY()) bouncey = true;
}
//if any are colliding, bounce the ball
if(bouncex) velocity.x = -velocity.x;
if(bouncey) velocity.y = -velocity.y;
Finally, don't forget to set the lastLocation PVector to the current location, just before moving the current location:
lastLocation = location.copy();
//move the ball...
Hope this was helpful!

So i have this program that needs to test two rectangles and check:
If the test rectangle is within the reference rectangle
If the test rectangle is overlapping the reference rectangle
If the test rectangle is only sharing a border with the reference rectangle
IF the test rectangle and reference rectangle are distinct
Both the reference and test rectangles are defined with their center coordinates (x,y) and their width and height.
I believe I have the first check coded correctly, but I cannot figure out the math for the last three checks of overlapping, sharing boundary, and being totally distinct.
Here is my code for the four checks so far:
//returns true if the specified rectangle is inside this rectangle
public boolean contains(MyRectangle2D r){
if(this.x > r.x + r.width && x + width < r.x && y > r.y +r.height && y + height < r.y){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
//returns true if the specified rectangle overlaps with this rectangle
public boolean overlaps(MyRectangle2D r) {
if (this.x < r.x + r.width && x + width > r.x && y < r.y + r.height && y + height > r.y){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
//returns true if only the boundaries touch
public boolean abut(MyRectangle2D r) {
if(this.x = r.x + r.width && x + width = r.x || y = r.y +r.height && y + height = r.y){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
//returns true if the rectangles are not touching at all
public boolean distinct(MyRectangle2D r) {
}

You can use the Java Topolygy Suite (JTS) for that:
First you can create your rectangles with your parameters using the org.locationtech.jts.util.GeometricShapeFactory (API):
Then you can use the defined spatial relations (within, overlaps, ...) of org.locationtech.jts.geom.Geometry (API)
Simple code:
// method to create your rectangles like before (Polygon objects)
public static Polygon createPolygon(Coordinate center, double width, double height){
GeometricShapeFactory shapeFactory = new GeometricShapeFactory();
shapeFactory.setNumPoints(4);
shapeFactory.setCentre(center);
shapeFactory.setWidth(width);
shapeFactory.setHeight(height);
return shapeFactory.createRectangle();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create your rectagles

Ok so I have been try to get this ball to bounce naturally for a few weeks now and can't seem to get it right. The program should allow the user to input a set amount of gravity and then have the ball bounce according to that amount. It works for the first few bounces but stopping the ball is the problem. I have to deliberately set its movement to 0 or else it will endlessly bounce in place but not move on the x-axis. This issue only happens when the gravity is set to 15, other amount and things really go bad. The ball will bounce naturally but then keep rolling on x-axis forever. I've never taken a physics class so the issue is probably in the physics code. Anyone know where the issue is?
Here is the code my code-
