In this tutorial, I discuss rectangles and rectangular collision detection. The most common operation that you will use to detect collision detection is rectangular collision detection. Once that succeeds, you can use more complex collision detection like Per-Pixel collision detection. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55f0f6f0e4b0d3922cc341e6/55f5dbe6e4b0818e9742ca18/5648d141e4b00af65e2fe57f/1447612787533/ Game Math - Per Pixel Collision In this tutorial, I discuss rectangles and per-pixel collision detection. I also take things a step farther and discuss getting an intersecting rectangle and using that to optimize the algorithm. Since this algorithm loops through every pixel, it is recommended to use rectangular collision detection before per-pixel collision. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55f0f6f0e4b0d3922cc341e6/55f5dbe6e4b0818e9742ca18/5660dc4fe4b08cb1d72a8020/1449188453967/ Game Math - Matrix Transform This is the fourth tutorial of Game Math!

Welcome to the start of the more advanced Video Game artificial intelligence series. The first topic we will be discussing in a series of videos is the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm. This tutorial will expand on the previous tutorial and provide a real life example. We discuss how to think about terminal states in a way that makes sense if the algorithm has to run in a very short time. https://www.phstudios.com/game-math-series daily 0.75 2018-07-23
