Hi,
I am making a breakout type game where you bounce a ball around and it hits & breaks blocks.
The issue im having is with handling the ball after a collision is detected.
Every frame the ball checks four points on its surface to see if they are colliding with any of the blocks. The problem occurs when the ball starts moving fast. The ball’s radius is 7 pixels. If it is moving upwards at higher than7 px/ frame, then the ball might end up half way into one of the blocks.
In that case the ball detects a collision on its top AND on its side (which is bad – If the ball is travelling upwards it should detect the collision at the top of the ball)
Anyone have ideas on how I could fix this so that I can make the ball move fast without sacrificing the accurate detection of collisions??
