alice-teacher Room/objects collisions

[Don Slater]

Roger,
This is particularly difficult for the room as it does not have an easily ideifieablle sub-parts to detect when an object is about to collide with it.

One solution might be to place different shapes with an opacity of 0 near each of the walls, and then use the CollisionStartListener to listen for when the moving object approaches these invisible objects.

See the following links for more information:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

All the best,
Don Slater
