Shapes from buffered images/collision detection
Hi,
Two things really:
1) How can I get a shape from an image? For instance, say I had a image of a ball on a transparent background and I wanted to get the eclipse shape of the ball?
2) All the classes I抦 making, are going into my game API, how can I do collision detection using the bounding shape crated? (referring to the above question) At the moment, all my game components extend JComponent and I am using the getBounds().intersects() to test for a collision, I don抰 think this would be much different to the getShape().
Any help on this would be grand.

You could make a Ball class that keeps track of all that information.

You're going to have to implement it yourself.

The ball was just an example, but you can see the idea, instead of a great big rectangle, it would be nice to cut out a shape from the image

Yer, I don't really know why I said that, sorry :)
