Collision with Bump

[fridays18]

Ive been trying to use Bump.lua lib and I understand just about everything except how collision works, ive looked through the forums and the docs and cant find anything helpful, its all a bit confusing so if someone could explain it id appreciate it

NOTE: I know how to setup the world, add collision boxs, and update the collision just not how it actually works all together

Another note: Im using bump since ive heard it works well but if anyone has any alternative collision methods that might work better I would be happy to know:)

I've never used this lib but but found it here:
https://github.com/kikito/bump.lua#collision-resolution

Code: Select all

function movePlayer(player, dt)
  local goalX, goalY = player.x + player.vx * dt, player.y + player.vy * dt
  local actualX, actualY, cols, len = world:move(player, goalX, goalY)
  player.x, player.y = actualX, actualY
  -- deal with the collisions
  for i=1,len do
    print('collided with ' .. tostring(cols[i].other))
  end
end

Bump is probably not the right tool for this job: viewtopic.php?p=184943#p184943

Do you know of any other alternatives?

Do your own physics, or try HC.
