Slick Forums

I was wondering on what the best way would be to prevent my player from 'going' into restricted areas, e.g. walls, barrels, cars etc.
I've had trouble by doing it pixel by pixel since the player's position is calculated from the images top left, so the rest of the players body can still enter these areas visually.
Any help is appreciated.

you can check collision using a collision box

The problem with your idea is that the items such as walls and boxes aren't drawn into the game separately from the background, will I have to draw them separately and use collision boxes or is there another way I can achieve this.

sorry but why walls aren't separated from background?
Background is something on a layer where player can't interact with it, enemies, walls and so on are in another layer
