Also, for animations with spritesheets, how do you animate the shape of the polygoncollider2d for every different frame. The problem is that if something is moving very fast a bullet, it may never touch the other object ie a character each frame, but rather it may collide in between 2 frames, and never be detected because collision detection would only detect in between frames. Pixel perfect collision is the technique used in xna to detect collision of two textures, or specifically saying, two png images.

It uses bounding squares to determine if it should bother with pixel perfect collision detection and then proceeds to compare only the overlapping areas of the two buffers. All objects must have a rect attribute and a hitmask attribute. Of course, you could flag that as a possible collision, and then check the possible collision areas using your pixelperfect algorithm. Pixel perfect collision detection free actionscript. Bounding box and other more basic types of collision are usually a better route. Collision detection with a terrain and an object is different than the collision between objects. May 23, 2012 the long awaited per pixel collision detection tutorial.

Theres a reason why almost all 2d games use rectangles or circles for collision detection. Generally you will have a simple generic shape that covers the entity known as a hitbox so even though collision may not be pixel perfect, it will look good enough and be performant across multiple entities.
