Question

I made a collision detection in the Update() section, and this is the code:

            if (player.playerRect.Intersects(turtleRect))
        {
            turtleRect.X = turtleRect.X - 60;
        }

When I run the game, and collide with the turtle, nothing happens. I tried changing the

turtleRect.X = turtleRect.X - 60;

To

turtleRect.X = turtleRect.X - 600;

Because I thought I wasn’t noticing the change. Still, nothing happened. Then I thought it was just the

turtleRect.X = turtleRect.X - 600

So I put that in the Update() method, outside of the if statement and it worked. Now I realize that it is the

                if (player.playerRect.Intersects(turtleRect))
        {

        }

But I cannot figure out what is wrong with that. I have the playerRect in a different class, but I imported it into the main class. I know the Rectangles are moving because of the

            turtleRect.X -= 1;

in the Update() method.
The turtle moves across the screen. I have tested many things, and looked it up and I still can’t figure it out. This is the rectangle collision, so could somebody also guide me on how to do the per pixel collision? Any help is appreciated.

I solved this, I just added:

playerRect = new Rectangle((int)player.position.X, (int)player.position.Y, player.playerRect.Width, player.playerRect.Height);

Thanks for all the help!
