ive recently made a game in which you have to avoid some big evil round planets. i found out the in the making of that that using the function hittest uses square objects. i dident bother much then with it, i just brought out the ol’e algebra book and looked up the distance formual and made my own hittest.

now my questyion is is there a more refined way of using hittest for a more irregular object than a circle.

I made somewhat irregualr objects have hittest boxxes so that it was split up into many smaller parts, this gets kinda tedious if its really irregualr or if i need to move it around on the screen

btw if anyone wants ta c the game i made 😉

avoid everyting , and shop at the store on the planet , u can go over the big planet in lower left corner but not the ones in orbit 😉
