Collisions in Pygame - Beginner Tutorial

In this video I will explain how to check for collisions in Pygame.

I'll go over three different collision types which are rectangle collisions using colliderect(), point collisions using collidepoint() and line intersection collisions using clipline()

I'll also explain how I use these collisions in my projects for player collision, button clicking and even AI.

My Dude. I have been playing with pygame for months now. Got number of projects under my belt. I always find myself coming back to your vids for some assistance...This here, is a perfect example. Been looking for a means of determining line collisions...and lo and behold ... Russ has done it again!!

Much appreciated man!!

thank you so much, very helpful content

guy thanks because I made it if the box1 touch's box2 it make just basically a makeshift edge grip

Hi, I need help with something.
I have made a Space Invaders game with rect collision. The enemies and the player are not rect objects. I noticed a problem with the game: The collision ONLY works if I hit the enemies on the right corners. I am using distance as my collision but colliderrect-based collision does not work either. Is it supposed to be like that with non-rectangle objects or have I done something wrong? Thank you for your answer!

How can I tweak the position of the hitbox rectangle relative to whatever model/ sprite I'm using? Can I do that within the library or?

I get collisions but I don't understand how to exactly handle them once they happen.

I have a little space invaders game but instead of ships you shoot space rocks or they hit you and you die, but my ship can shoot, once a collision is detected I need to know how I can make that rock dissapear, I am currently just moving the rock back to the top so it looks like you just blow it up but I will need to actually just remove the rock from the game, how can I do this?

Why define all the colors as RGBs instead of just use the abailable color presets as string? For example

WHITE = (225, 225, 225)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, WHITE, obstacle)
#instead of
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "white", obstacle)

for some reason the "rect_1 = pygame.Rect(0, 0, 25, 25)" is giving me "'module' object is not callable" error
