    Hi,

    I am trying to make space fighting game :) So i made player space ship and i made enemy ships and player ship can throw laser... I have two main function. startPlane() is create the player ship and add events when player touch the screen, ship throw laser. startEnemies() is create the enemies and start to enemy movement.

    When player touch the screen, event start the fire() function. And fire function create the fire object and start the moveFire function. moveFire function is add -y for move the fire. Now, how can i detect when laser hit the enemy ?

      Hi,
      I'd say to look for TNTcollision Engine to check points/shapes collisions without physics (it's a "plugin" for gideros).

      If you like to engage with physics/gravity and forces you can try box2d (already available in gideros).

      this looks like what you are looking for

      check out :hitTestPoint
      _________________________________________________________________________________
      local function goTouch(gameOverImage, event)
      -- See if the Game Over object was touched
      if gameOverImage:hitTestPoint(event.touch.x, event.touch.y) then
      gameoverImg:removeEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_END, goTouch)
      -- Clean up our objects
      stage:removeChild(gameoverImg)
      gameoverImg=nil
      local i
      for i = 1,MAXNUMBEROFENEMIES do
      stage:removeChild(enemyShape[i])
      enemyShape[i]=nil
      end
      stage:removeChild(player)
      player=nil
      stage:removeChild(hiScoreText)
      hiScoreText=nil
      stage:removeChild(scoreText)
      scoreText=nil
      -- Restart the game
      startGame()
      end
      end

      1) @pie mentioned TNT collision engine
      2) @Harrison mentioned hitTestPoint
      3) Using box2d physics engine
      3) using bounding box check:
      function Sprite:collidesWith(sprite2)
	local x,y,w,h = self:getBounds(stage)
	local x2,y2,w2,h2 = sprite2:getBounds(stage)
 
	return not ((y+h < y2) or (y > y2+h2) or (x > x2+w2) or (x+w < x2))
end
 
--usage like
if fire:collidesWith(enemy) then
    --enemy is hit
end

      It would be cool to have a user defined bounding box, one that would be smaller than the actual sprite. Currently I'm using @ar2rsawseen's mentioned 4) Sprite:collidesWith. My hacky workaround is another bounding box sprite which is invisible =| .

      What about rotated sprites?
