[JAVA][Beginning Java 8 Games Development]

Chapter 16 ■ Collision Detection: Creating SVG Polygons for the Game Actors and Writing Code to Detect Collision
This auto-generated collision data is very “heavy,” so we looked at a more involved work process, allowing us to
create collision polygons by hand using fewer data point pairs. This process involved using the Path Tool in GIMP to
create a collision polygon by hand, which gave us far more control over generating as few data points as possible. We
also looked at the CodeAndWeb PhysicsEditor software, which can be used across all game development platforms.
In the next chapter, we are going take a look at how to implement enhanced game play elements into a game,
including the scoring engine, adversaries, treasure, an auto-attack engine, and physics simulation.
