Detailed Description

Handles collisions between game objects.

At the beginning of gameplay, collision types should be added to the manager via CollisionManager::AddCollisionType(). Througout gameplay the Level will make calls to CollisionManager::CheckCollision(), to see if specific game objects are colliding. If a collision is detected, the callback parameter that was specified (when the collision type was added) will be called.

Member Function Documentation

AddCollisionType()

void ShooterLibrary::CollisionManager::AddCollisionType ( const CollisionType  type1, const CollisionType  type2, OnCollision  callback  )

virtual

Adds a type of collision occurance to the manager.

Parameters

type1	The collision mask type of the first object.
type2	The collision mask type of the second object.
callback	The callback function that should run when the specified object types collide.

AddNonCollisionType()

void ShooterLibrary::CollisionManager::AddNonCollisionType ( const CollisionType  type1, const CollisionType  type2  )

virtual

Adds a type of collision occurance to make the manager ignore.

Parameters

type1	The collision mask type of the first object.
type2	The collision mask type of the second object.

Remarks

This function is used as an optimization for objects that commonly collide and don't have any affect on gameplay. For example, a player ship that colldes with a projectile that was shot by a player.

CheckCollision()

void ShooterLibrary::CollisionManager::CheckCollision ( GameObject *  pGameObject1, GameObject *  pGameObject2  )

virtual

Determines if two objects are colliding. If they are the specified callback function is run.

Parameters

pGameObject1	The first GameObject.
pGameObject2	The second GameObject.

Remarks

This should not be called manually, instead it is called by the level during Level::Update()
