Re: [pygame] Rect collision by direction

[Skizzaltix <waterflight@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This works perfectly if the character is moving along only one axis, but 
if he/she is moving diagonally along a row of walls, both the "colliding 
from the side" and the "colliding from the top" if statements get 
triggered, and so the character ceases movement along both axes...
Thanks for the help, though, and I'll see if I can work this out--I may 
end up reworking the way I'm handling walls. Otherwise, if someone knows 
of a solution, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks!
