Pygame: Collision by Sides of Sprite

Question

Is there a way in pygame to look for a collision between the a particular side of a sprite and a particular side of another sprite in pygame? For example, if the top of spri

Answer 1

The logic behind collision is like that:

#Assume two surfaces
objectA
objectB

if objectA.right > objectB.left and objectA.left < objectB.right and objectA.top < objectB.bottom and objectA.bottom > objectB.top
    #Collision happens

if you want to detect side collision (as if objectA hitted objectB on the side) you can do the following:

#Here is the code where objectA moves
objectA.X += 10
#Here check Collision, if collision happens objectA hitted objectB from the side
objectA.Y += 10
#Here check Collision again, if collision is true then objectA hitted object B from top/bottom
