    In my game I decided to replace my hspeed (and vspeed) to an increasing value of x. However, in my collisions, I can't find a way to change hspeed and vspeed to x and y. Here is my code: if hspeed!=0 if !place_free(x+hspeed,y) { if hspeed > 0 move_contact_solid(0,hspeed) if hspeed < 0...

    GameMaker Any *real* guides for top down collision out there?

    Hi there, So I am to the point in my programming journey where I acutely feel the need for more control over how my collisions behave, but I am not smart enough to code my own system and feel good about it. I have been using the physics engine, and the more I try to do interesting things with...

    Speculative Contact Collision

    I use repeat loops for my movement code to get pixel perfect collisions, (ex. x += sign(xSpeed)) but I've come to realize that this is actually pretty taxing for the CPU since I have to collision check a lot more than necessary. I've been looking into how to get pixel perfect collisions working...
