Learning Java by Building Android Games - Second Edition

Chapter 25. Intelligent Platforms and Advanced Collision Detection

This chapter is the final chapter of the final project and shorter than most. We will however, add quite a bit to the game. First, we will code an intelligent platform- one that moves up and down of its own accord. This greatly increases the potential for interesting level designs and looks good too. The final thing we will add is the collision detection. This will be more advanced than in any of the other projects as we will need to respond differently depending on which collider of the player collides with various different game objects. In addition, the collision code will need to communicate with the movement code to make the whole system behave as needed.
