Chapter 16 ■ Collision Detection: Creating SVG Polygons for the Game Actors and Writing Code to Detect Collision
Figure 16-30. Comment out the playAudioClip() method call to turn off all audio and add a checkCollision() method call
Create an empty public void checkCollision(){} method body, which will remove that wavy red error
highlighting that you see in Figure 16-30, so that we can begin to put the code into place that will look through the
CURRENT_CAST List object, so that we can ascertain if any of the cast members intersect (have collided
with) the primary InvinciBagel character on the game Stage.
Inside of this .checkCollision() method, we will need a Java for “counter” loop structure. This structure will be
used to traverse through your CURRENT_CAST List array of objects; in this case, these are Prop objects, to
check for any collisions (intersections) with the InvinciBagel object. The first part of the for loop is the iterator variable
declaration and initialization, in our case, int i=0; to declare the integer type iterator variable named “i,” initialized
to a count value of zero.
The second part of the for loop is the iteration condition, which, in this case, is “iterate until you reach the
end of the CURRENT_CAST List object, or i
