Chapter 16 ■ Collision Detection: Creating SVG Polygons for the Game Actors and Writing Code to Detect Collision
Figure 16-5. Select “Export the active path” option, in the Export Path to SVG dialog, and name the file sprite1svgdata
The next step in the work process is to open the sprite1svgdata.svg file that we are exporting in Figure 16-5 in a
text editor: for Windows users that will be Notepad, for Macintosh users that will be TextEdit, and for Linux users it
will probably be vi or vim.
Figure 16-6 shows the File Open dialog for Windows Notepad, and you may notice that by default, Notepad will
look for the .txt (Text file type) file extension, which indicates that there is text data inside of that file. However, there
is also text data inside of the .svg file extension (type), in the form of XML data. We need to use the drop-down menu
at the bottom right of the dialog to tell Notepad to look at all files that are available, and to allow us to decide which of
them contain text data, and which do not.
