  • What are you expecting distance % math.sqrt(2) to do, and under what conditions do you expect the result to be <= 0? Commented Jun 22, 2020 at 1:54

i am no python programmer but just looking at your collide function

assuming that your colliding base on distance between 2 points on a 2D plane

after getting the distance, you did a (distance mod the sqrt of 2).

a mod get your the remainder of a division, to be exactly 0 means that your number will be a multiple of sqrt2, and since in computer science a floating point 0 is almost impossible to get due to how floating points values is stored.

and after your check whether formula is getting your 0 OR an negative number. since sqrt will never get a negative value from your distance formula for your collide to be true it has to be 0.

suggestion for change, after getting the distance,

Do a check whether it falls within a RANGE with each, if it is true, else false.

google: circle to point collision, my syntax maybe wrong as i am a primarily c programmer ,hope it helps

Hey! Thanks, is it possible for you to write out in code the part that you are saying. I am not sure I fully understand and visualize your wording. If you can, it would help a lot! Thanks
Well, here is a hint: in plain English, what is the rule you are trying to implement? Under what conditions should the function return true? What does distance represent, and why is the math.sqrt(2) result relevant to what you are doing?
