How do I detect collision in pygame? [duplicate]

Answer 1

From what I understand of pygame you just need to check if the two rectangles overlap using the colliderect method. One way to do it is to have a method in your Bullet class that checks for collisions:

def is_collided_with(self, sprite):
    return self.rect.colliderect(sprite.rect)

Then you can call it like:

sprite = Sprite(10, 10, 'my_sprite')
bullet = Bullet(20, 10)
if bullet.is_collided_with(sprite):
    print('collision!')
    bullet.kill()
    sprite.kill()
