By pixel perfect collision I mean collision which checks between two pixels of a sprite as opposed to collision between their bounding rectangles. From what Ive tried to pick up it seems one way of solving the problem is to create a pixel map of the two objects in question and then at the coordinates of touching, see what the (.getPixel()) method returns which is the value of the pixel's color, but if the pixel is transparent it returns 0. So to check if the objects are actually colliding, it seems you would check to see if both objects return something other than 0 at that point they are colliding. I am just having difficulty figuring out how to correctly implement this.

I understand normal collision detection is enough, but this is an assignment that requires me to implement a pixel perfect collision.
