Otter Example: More Collisions

Hot of the presses with a new Otter example! This example goes over more of the collider types that can be used in Otter. In total Otter has a Box, Circle, Grid, Polygon, Pixel, Point, and Line collider, and this example will cover all of them except for the Pixel collider (because that one should be used very sparingly anyway.)

Here's a quick preview of the code that can be found in the example:

class PolygonTest : Entity {



  PolygonCollider polygonCollider;



  public PolygonTest(float x, float y) : base(x, y) {

    // Create a PolygonCollider and give it some Vector2 points.

    polygonCollider = new PolygonCollider(

      new Vector2(0, 0),

      new Vector2(80, -10),

      new Vector2(30, 90),

      new Vector2(-5, 15),

      new Vector2(0, 5)

      );



    // Add the Walls tag (since this isn't in the constructor.)

    polygonCollider.AddTag(Tags.Walls);



    // Set the rotation to a random angle.

    polygonCollider.Rotation = Rand.Angle;



    // Add the Collider.

    AddCollider(polygonCollider);

    // Center the origin of the Collider.

    polygonCollider.CenterOrigin();

  }



  public override void Render() {

    base.Render();



    // Render the Collider for debug purposes.

    polygonCollider.Render();

  }

}
