GDI+ Examples: Collision Detection II

Introduction

This is another implementation of collision detection. This one uses a Windows control, namely a picture box, to represent the object that is moving.

Practical Learning: Introducing the Tree View Control

1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio or Microsoft Visual C# Express
2. To create an application, on the main menu, click File -> New Project...
3. Set the project type to Windows Form Application
4. Change the name to CollisionDetection2
5. Click OK
6. In the Solution Explorer, right-click Form1.cs and click Rename
7. Type CollisionDetection.cs and press Enter
8. Design the form as follows:
    

   

   Control		(Name)	BackColor	BorderStyle	Enabled	Interval
   PictureBox		pbxGreen	192, 255, 192	Fixed3D
   PictureBox		pbxBrown	SandyBrown	Fixed3D
   Timer		tmrMover			True	2

9. Double-click the middle of the form to generate its Load event
10. Change the file as follows:

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    
    namespace CollisionDetection2
    {
        public partial class CollisionDetection : Form
        {
            static int xGreen;
            static int xBrown;
    
            static int yGreen;
            static int yBrown;
    
            static bool IsMovingDownGreen;
            static bool IsMovingDownBrown;
    
            static bool IsMovingRightGreen;
            static bool IsMovingRightBrown;
    
            public CollisionDetection()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
    
            private void CollisionDetection_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                xGreen = 10;
                yGreen = 10;
    
                xBrown = 1100;
                yBrown = 500;
    
                IsMovingDownGreen = false;
                IsMovingDownBrown = false;
    
                IsMovingRightGreen = false;
                IsMovingRightBrown = false;
    
                SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
                SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
                SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
            }
        }
    }

11. Double-click the timer
12. Implement the event as follows:

    private void tmrMover_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // If the status of the origin indicates that it is moving right,
        // then increase the horizontal axis
        if (IsMovingRightGreen == true)
            xGreen++;
        else // If it's moving left, then decrease the horizontal movement
            xGreen--;
    
        // If the status of the origin indicates that it is moving down,
        // then increase the vertical axis
        if (IsMovingDownGreen == true)
            yGreen++;
        else // Otherwise, decrease it
            yGreen--;
    
        // Collision: if the axis hits the right side of the screen,
        // then set the horizontal moving status to "Right", which will be used
        // by the above code
        if ((xGreen + pbxGreen.Width) >= ClientSize.Width)
            IsMovingRightGreen = false;
        if ((xGreen + pbxGreen.Width) <= 100)
            IsMovingRightGreen = true; ;
    
        if ((yGreen + pbxGreen.Height) >= ClientSize.Height)
            IsMovingDownGreen = false;
        if ((yGreen + pbxGreen.Height) <= 50)
            IsMovingDownGreen = true;
    
        BackColor = Color.Black;
    
        pbxGreen.Location = new Point(xGreen, yGreen);
    
        // -----------------------------------------------------------
        if (IsMovingRightBrown == true)
            xBrown += 2;
        else // If it's moving left, then decrease the horizontal movement
            xBrown--;
    
        // If the status of the origin indicates that it is moving down,
        // then increase the vertical axis
        if (IsMovingDownBrown == true)
            yBrown += 2;
        else // Otherwise, decrease it
            yBrown--;
    
        // Collision: if the axis hits the right side of the screen,
        // then set the horizontal moving status to "Right", which will be used
        // by the above code
        if ((xBrown + pbxBrown.Width) >= ClientSize.Width)
            IsMovingRightBrown = false;
        if ((xBrown + pbxBrown.Width) <= 100)
            IsMovingRightBrown = true; ;
    
        if ((yBrown + pbxBrown.Height) >= ClientSize.Height)
            IsMovingDownBrown = false;
        if ((yBrown + pbxBrown.Height) <= 50)
            IsMovingDownBrown = true;
        pbxBrown.Location = new Point(xBrown, yBrown);
    
        if (pbxBrown.Bounds.IntersectsWith(pbxGreen.Bounds))
        {
            tmrMover.Enabled = false;
            /*                Random rndNumber = new Random();
    
                            xGreen = rndNumber.Next(Width);
                            xBrown = rndNumber.Next(Width);
    
                            yGreen = rndNumber.Next(Height);
                            yBrown = rndNumber.Next(Height);*/
        }
    }
