We are finally on to the good stuff. The final algorithm we are going to look at is the pixel perfect collision detection. With this method, we create “masks” for our images, and then based on the distances between images, we form a comparison area. Once formed, we search each mask for bits in the comparison area that match. If they match, we have collision. Simple right?
