Level 6: Collision - IncrediCoders/Python1 GitHub Wiki
Queen Cobra added this page on June 6, 2025
Here is a bonus article that will tell you more about Collision!
In addition to this bonus article, you can find other bonus articles that teach you the topics I covered in Level 6: Hit Box & Audio.
Learn About Collision
In coding, a collision happens when two things bump into each other, like a ball hitting the ground.
When a collision happens, your program can respond: play a sound, show a message, or change what’s happening in the game. That’s how games know when things "touch."
Why Collision Matters
Collision makes your code interactive and smart. Without it, nothing would react. Your game would just be a bunch of objects floating around
