I know I know, i'll change it! I got the code almost directly from avansc so that's why it's like that. I'd just make it 4 not call new!

At the moment it isn't suppose to be any sort of fast, I just want to get it to work first lol.

What is the method for doing it without SAT, I'd like to know both.

I'm using avansc's method for separating axis but something isn't working right. I implemented it like this, but it seems to always return true. bool Entity::CollisionCheckSAT( int check_x, int check_y, Entity* other ) { if (other != this) { GetBBox()->WorldCoordinates(); other->GetBBox()->WorldCoor...

I agree with N64, I'm using the Separating Axis method.

Thank you! Both of these links are VERY helpful.

Hey, can someone help me figure out how to calculate collisions for platform slopes, I have basic rect vs rect collision in my game, and i just want some 45 degree slopes. I've been trying to program it, and have been searching Google non-stop and can't get it to work smoothly enough for my game. I'...

Edited the first post to make it as clear as possible, now maybe we can get on topic!

Also Rolland, I'm not looking for ideas really, just to start a discussion and see how other people structure their games.

Again, this post was for discussion, I'm not looking for help with a game engine, nor advice. Most of you seem to be missing the point of this topic.

To the first two posters, thanks for the advice, but this was mainly for discussion. I'd still like to hear how YOU do things, not how you'd prefer me to stick to my own methods. Also, I didn't actually mean update my engine with your ideas, I just meant update my brain catalog with different ideas ...

I'd like to start a discussion about how each of us choose to structure our game engines. What sort of systems/managers do you use? How do you go about updating your games objects? How do you prefer to structure sections of your engine? I personally have been using an Engine class and letting that d...

Thanks for the reply, I already solved the problem though. As for calling new, those are the blocks that make up my map in game. They are put into the SolidTile vector by their constructor.

Okay so I have a function that loads a map, and it basically clears three vectors, and then loads things back into those vectors. Now, if it loads the same map over and over, it clears and loads them fine, but if I change it to load a different map than the start map it crashes at the ThinkAll funct...

I figured it out using what you guys have told me so far, thanks guys!

Thanks for all the replies! I'd like to clarify that it is a vector of pointers to an Entity class, and that I do check if things aren't NULL before doing things with them, but for some reason when I use delete or call a destructor it still crashes. Now, I think that calling erase is the way I'd lik...
