I am using pygame to make a simple game. I am having issues with circle collisions. I am getting the following error:
"AttributeError: 'pygame.Rect' object has no attribute 'rect'"
Here is the particular code I am having issues with below:
if pygame.sprite.collide_circle(hero_circle, enemy_circle):
gameover()
Use pygame.mask to create a collision mesh for your objects and use the mesh to do collision detections.
In more detail:
(Technically this is just doing collision detection of a circle shaped area on a rectangle, but who cares!)
pygame.draw.rect()
draw a rectangle shape
rect(Surface, color, Rect, width=0) -> Rect
Draws a rectangular shape on the Surface. The given Rect is the area of the rectangle. The width argument is the thickness to draw the outer edge. If width is zero then the rectangle will be filled.
Keep in mind the Surface.fill() method works just as well for drawing filled rectangles. In fact the Surface.fill() can be hardware accelerated on some platforms with both software and hardware display modes.
The best way I've found to check circle collision detection is to calculate the distance between the center points of two circles. If the distance is less than the sum of the two circle's radii, then you've collided.
