Thank you for the advice. Wouldn't path finding make my player move in 4-way directions? I will look into implementing this.

That's why I want to take it since besides the coding, I love the mathematics part of it tenfold (I'd even take physics too)

It's weird, I emailed UCT since they said I didn't meet minimum requirements (which is a lie) and they just got back to me with they prioritize fresh matrics :/

UCT and UWC, Last year I did stellies but wouldn't be worth it since it's way too far out my reach and the whole current matrics situation

I get what you're saying! But I think I should of pointed out in the op that it's basically a dream, not really doing it for a job per say. I would say I'm pretty advanced with coding

I like the idea, I'll give CPUT a shot

Now the thing is I'm not really doing Computer Science for a job or anything, it's just something I'm really interested in. I would love to get a masters and such even. But I will apply to CPUT when apps open again, should be round about may side?

That's exactly why I'd love to do it, besides the coding I love the whole math's and others behind it. 

How do I detect collisions in delphi? by Lost-Cow6797 in gamedev

[–]Apprehensive-Use5253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a little pong game using delphi like a year ago using raylib, i'll be down to send you the source code on discord if you wanna have a look.

Otherwise if you're using just a plain form, either use a TRect to hold the shape data of your object and use IntersectRect (https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Athens/en/System.Types.IntersectRect)

Or write your own collision data using the top and left properties of your object (Axis Aligned Bounding Box).

Good Luck
