下面是如何在Java API中完成的:

public boolean intersects(Rectangle r) {
    int tw = this.width;
    int th = this.height;
    int rw = r.width;
    int rh = r.height;
    if (rw <= 0 || rh <= 0 || tw <= 0 || th <= 0) {
        return false;
    }
    int tx = this.x;
    int ty = this.y;
    int rx = r.x;
    int ry = r.y;
    rw += rx;
    rh += ry;
    tw += tx;
    th += ty;
    //      overflow || intersect
    return ((rw < rx || rw > tx) &&
            (rh < ry || rh > ty) &&
            (tw < tx || tw > rx) &&
            (th < ty || th > ry));
}

更容易检查一个矩形是否完全在另一个矩形之外，如果它是其中之一

在左边……

(r1.x + r1.width < r2.x)

或者在右边…

(r1.x > r2.x + r2.width)

或者在上面…

(r1.y + r1.height < r2.y)

或者在底部…

(r1.y > r2.y + r2.height)

对于第二个矩形，它不可能与它碰撞。因此，要有一个返回布尔值的函数，表示矩形是否碰撞，我们只需通过逻辑or组合这些条件，并对结果求反:

function checkOverlap(r1, r2) : Boolean
{ 
    return !(r1.x + r1.width < r2.x || r1.y + r1.height < r2.y || r1.x > r2.x + r2.width || r1.y > r2.y + r2.height);
}

如果只在触摸时得到阳性结果，我们可以通过“<=”和“>=”来更改“<”和“>”。

struct Rect
{
    Rect(int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2)
    : x1(x1), x2(x2), y1(y1), y2(y2)
    {
        assert(x1 < x2);
        assert(y1 < y2);
    }

    int x1, x2, y1, y2;
};

bool
overlap(const Rect &r1, const Rect &r2)
{
    // The rectangles don't overlap if
    // one rectangle's minimum in some dimension 
    // is greater than the other's maximum in
    // that dimension.

    bool noOverlap = r1.x1 > r2.x2 ||
                     r2.x1 > r1.x2 ||
                     r1.y1 > r2.y2 ||
                     r2.y1 > r1.y2;

    return !noOverlap;
}

A和B是两个矩形。C是它们的覆盖矩形。

four points of A be (xAleft,yAtop),(xAleft,yAbottom),(xAright,yAtop),(xAright,yAbottom)
four points of A be (xBleft,yBtop),(xBleft,yBbottom),(xBright,yBtop),(xBright,yBbottom)

A.width = abs(xAleft-xAright);
A.height = abs(yAleft-yAright);
B.width = abs(xBleft-xBright);
B.height = abs(yBleft-yBright);

C.width = max(xAleft,xAright,xBleft,xBright)-min(xAleft,xAright,xBleft,xBright);
C.height = max(yAtop,yAbottom,yBtop,yBbottom)-min(yAtop,yAbottom,yBtop,yBbottom);

A and B does not overlap if
(C.width >= A.width + B.width )
OR
(C.height >= A.height + B.height) 

它考虑到所有可能的情况。

问你自己一个相反的问题:我如何确定两个矩形是否完全不相交?显然，矩形a完全在矩形B的左边不相交。如果A完全在右边。同样，如果A完全高于B或完全低于B，在任何其他情况下，A和B相交。

以下内容可能有bug，但我对算法相当有信心:

struct Rectangle { int x; int y; int width; int height; };

bool is_left_of(Rectangle const & a, Rectangle const & b) {
   if (a.x + a.width <= b.x) return true;
   return false;
}
bool is_right_of(Rectangle const & a, Rectangle const & b) {
   return is_left_of(b, a);
}

bool not_intersect( Rectangle const & a, Rectangle const & b) {
   if (is_left_of(a, b)) return true;
   if (is_right_of(a, b)) return true;
   // Do the same for top/bottom...
 }

bool intersect(Rectangle const & a, Rectangle const & b) {
  return !not_intersect(a, b);
}

我已经实现了c#版本，它很容易转换为c++。

public bool Intersects ( Rectangle rect )
{
  float ulx = Math.Max ( x, rect.x );
  float uly = Math.Max ( y, rect.y );
  float lrx = Math.Min ( x + width, rect.x + rect.width );
  float lry = Math.Min ( y + height, rect.y + rect.height );

  return ulx <= lrx && uly <= lry;
}
