    http://sslaxx.twu.net/SDLCollide.zip is some collision detection library I found a while back. Had to fix it up to get working with GCC 4.4.x.

    I'll check that out when I get a chance. For now, I created an Entity class with a 3D vector for position and updating those objects and updating the surfaces using the position x and y coords.

    entity.h

    class Entity
{
public:
    Entity();
    ~Entity();

    Vector3 GetPos() const;
    void SetPos(const Vector3 pos);

private:
   Vector3 position;
};

    app.h

    Entity hero = new Entity;
hero->SetPos( /* wherever */ );
SDL_BlitSurface( heroSurf, NULL, screen, &destRect );

    Like, similar to that. Then create a bounding box (using SDL_Rect) and basically use an early-out to check the sides. Like, if the left of rect x is greater than the right of rect y, it can't possibly be overlapping on the horizontal. etc etc

    Dunno if it's the best way but it's how I did my (terrible) breakout clone in my school game programming framework.

    Edit: there's obviously more to it, but yeah. Soon as I get something working (ie: an actual level perhaps) I'm planning on releasing the source for people to scrutinize and help me improve.

    Well, I don't keep the lights on, so at night, black on white is similar to looking "at a light bulb."

    Offtopic: I haven't worked much with collisions, but I'd recommend looking at this is you already haven't: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson18/index.php .

    I need to start looking into that shit though, if I ever plan on developing a Sonic fan game. But who the hell around here would want to play that?

    Per-pixel collision is probably a bit MUCH for what I want, but that's a great link. Thanks!

    Edit: It also took me a day to realise I've been following those tutorials without meaning to. I always Google for sdl tutes and I seem to always manage to find my way to Lazyfoo.

    C++ and SDL is really straightforward, once you get the hang of it. What tutorial are you using?

    It's mostly the collision stuff. I reckon if I stopped being a little bitch and just did it myself I should be okay. I wanted to check out GML purely because Spelunky was made in GM, except after looking around I didn't enjoy the fact that I still had to use DnD for events, which is silly.
