I would like to start a game develoment team. this is like the third or fourth time ive posted here(please forgive me for my spelling and grammer cause I dont feel like it and all you perfectionist you can kiss my hooooo hold it john get ahold of your self) AND............yeah ok
ahhhhhhh back to what ever i was doing would any one like to start a team with me!!!!!!!!! I know, I know developers run away when they hear the word "team" thats what i hear but c++, java and the other programming lanuages are like a piece of pie. you cant enjoy it without another person (enless your a fat hog that eats everything in its way)
so people of the game programming wiki are we going to stand for this
No!!! i will ensure health care for every american SO!!!! if my speech has touch your heart and changed your mind PM me and life will Be good
like eating peach cobler on a saterday night

I'd love to start a team with you... unfortunately, I'm a fat, perfectionist hog. I doubt I could keep up with such a well-disciplined, eloquent fellow such as yourself.

oh josh, Im sorry I was just doing this for laughts (Im sorry im terrible at spelling its not one of the things I got a A in school ) if your serious then ok........ im not working on any projects but there is one thing I would like to know, i know im changing the subject but this is the thing that stomps me the most in programming; collision detection, Ive tried every possible
combination of numbers and ive looked up the subject countless times
on google and i cant find it
help would be appreciated and that offer to join a team is still going!

Collision isn't that hard. Though the internet itself isn't the best of resources, books work great. I recommend you get "Collision Detection in Interactive 3D Environments", as you can probably notice from the title, it focuses on 3D, but as most things in life, baby steps first. The book explains the 2D concept and how to implant it and then convert it to 3D and explains that to. If you are looking for just the basics of 2D polygon collision I suggest you search for "2D polygon-based collision detection and response" Might find some nice stuff there.

Collision detection isn't always easy. Two rectangles intersecting is one thing, but when you are aligning things to colliding planes in 3D, it can be really tricky to get.

But yeah, get one of the good books dedicated to collision detection like Zappy77 mentioned. Most (if not all) the books not specifically dedicated to the subject tend to give it a very superficial gloss-over, if anything.

Thanks Im really gratful

Collision detection is mostly math and collision response is basically physics.
Those two areas are so vast that it's very easy to get lost. I don't know if you can just 'figure it out' or find a simple 'this is how it's done' tutorial online.
It's also important what type of game you want to make. If it's something simple you can program the collision detection yourself. For example, for a basic arena shooter you'll probably only need to know if 2 shapes are intersecting. If you want realism then you might want to look into an existing physics library and build your game around that.
