Just wondering if anyone could help me with this pacman style game I was trying to work on... It''s driving me nuts! The basis of the game currently works fine - my tiles are 32x32 pixels, as is my pacman. The level is represented by 1''s and 0''s. At the minute, when the pacman is moved, I am shifting him by 32 pixels each time. The collision detection I''m using for this is simple - just detect the new coordinates when the direction key is pressed and if the new location is equal to a 1 then the pacman coordinates will be moved back by 32 to ensure he can''t move. The problem I now face is that I want it to be more ''smooth'', and have the pacman moving just 1 pixel at a time. I''ve tried and tried with this but I just can''t understand the collision detection I would need. My source code can be found at: http://members.fortunecity.com/n9951788/ If anyone can help it will save me from going bald at an early age! cheers. ..CHiEF/AsylumX..
