Resolving the outcome of a collision between 2 sprites

[MonsterOfCookie]

Hey Crew,

This isn't another 'How do I do collision detection?'. This more a question of how to resolve the outcome once a collision has been detected.

For Example, I normally have the flow:

• Update Player Sprite
• Update Enemy Sprites
• Check collision between Player & Enemies

But then this is when my thinking gets blurred. The player will have rules on what do to if hit by a enemy and an enemy will have rules if hit by the player, I am just not sure on where the rules should live. Ideally in each class of sprite, but then I can't figure out how to share it.

Is anyone doing anything funky I am not aware of?

A rough example:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11

public class CollisionDetector {    public void addCollisionHandler(CollisionHandler handler); } public interface CollisionHandler {    onCollision(...); } public class PlayerCollisionHandler implements CollisionHandler { ... }

Ahh, I like your thinking
