Collision

Collision describes the moment when two objects collide in the game world. These objects can be characters, enemies, projectiles, obstacles or other game elements. Detecting collision is an important part of videogame programming because it allows us to determine whether and how objects interact with each other. For example, the collision between a player character and an obstacle can mean that the character is stopped or suffers damage.

  What is Bitsy?
  
  Bitsy is a browser-based game engine suitable for designing small games quickly without much effort or prior knowledge and publishing them in HTML format.
  
  What can I use Bitsy for?
  
  Bitsy can be used to create simple games, stories and small works of art. The engine is suitable in game development for quickly creating prototypes for game ideas, or in teaching-learning scenarios, e.g. for cultural and literary education. Due to its simplicity, Bitsy can also teach some basic aspects of programming and thus create interest and lower inhibitions regarding the use more complex programming environments.
  
  Introduction:
  
  The goal of this section is to familiarize yourself with the basic functions of the engine and create a small template that can serve as a starting point for your own projects.
