Re: [pygame] Background and collision detection in Lunar Lander game

[Leonardo Santagada <retype@terra.com.br>]

You can look in the pygame ftp, there is a file named petephysics.tar.gz. It has an example of this kind of collision detection that you need. I don't know who did it but you won't need to copy the code because it is based in a gamasutra article, from there you could do your own implementation. I would like to see this code in the pcr if the author give us permission.
