Detecting collision() while using jQuery's Animate() method

blackhawx

Hi Selim,

I'm currently using the following code to move a sprite item across the screen....

$("#player").animate({'left':50px},800,'easingplugin');

How can I make gameQuery's collision detection work for my #player item, using animate()?

At the moment, it doesn't work when my player collides with other sprites in the playground.

Thanks for any advice!

Can you post a simple demo of collision detection for a sprite object, that moves across the screen with jQuery's animate() method? please :)

Well sadly to move things around you need to use .x() , .y() and the other gQ functions. But this doesn't make using animate impossible, you simply have to do something like this:

$({x: 0}).animate({x:100}, { duration: 800, step: function (now, tween) { $("#player").x(now); } });
