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。

struct point { int x, y; };

struct rect { point tl, br; }; // top left and bottom right points

// return true if rectangles overlap
bool overlap(const rect &a, const rect &b)
{
    return a.tl.x <= b.br.x && a.br.x >= b.tl.x && 
           a.tl.y >= b.br.y && a.br.y <= b.tl.y;
}

if (RectA.Left < RectB.Right && RectA.Right > RectB.Left &&
     RectA.Top > RectB.Bottom && RectA.Bottom < RectB.Top ) 

或者用笛卡尔坐标

(X1是左坐标，X2是右坐标，从左到右递增，Y1是上坐标，Y2是下坐标，从下到上递增——如果这不是你的坐标系统(例如，大多数计算机的Y方向是相反的)，交换下面的比较)……

if (RectA.X1 < RectB.X2 && RectA.X2 > RectB.X1 &&
    RectA.Y1 > RectB.Y2 && RectA.Y2 < RectB.Y1) 

假设你有矩形A和矩形B。 反证法是证明。四个条件中的任何一个都保证不存在重叠:

Cond1。如果A的左边在B的右边的右边， -那么A完全在B的右边 Cond2。如果A的右边在B的左边的左边， -那么A完全在B的左边 Cond3。如果A的上边在B的下边之下， -那么A完全低于B Cond4。如果A的下边在B的上边上面， -那么A完全高于B

不重叠的条件是

NON-Overlap => Cond1 Or Cond2 Or Cond3 Or Cond4

因此，重叠的充分条件是相反的。

Overlap => NOT (Cond1 Or Cond2 Or Cond3 Or Cond4)

德摩根定律说 不是(A或B或C或D)和不是A不是B不是C不是D是一样的 所以利用德·摩根，我们有

Not Cond1 And Not Cond2 And Not Cond3 And Not Cond4

这相当于:

A的左边到B的右边的左边，[RectA。左< RectB。正确的), A的右边到B的左边的右边，[RectA。对，>，RectB。左), A的顶部高于B的底部。Top > RectB。底), A的底部在B的顶部以下。底部< RectB。前)

Note 1: It is fairly obvious this same principle can be extended to any number of dimensions. Note 2: It should also be fairly obvious to count overlaps of just one pixel, change the < and/or the > on that boundary to a <= or a >=. Note 3: This answer, when utilizing Cartesian coordinates (X, Y) is based on standard algebraic Cartesian coordinates (x increases left to right, and Y increases bottom to top). Obviously, where a computer system might mechanize screen coordinates differently, (e.g., increasing Y from top to bottom, or X From right to left), the syntax will need to be adjusted accordingly/

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

bool valueInRange(int value, int min, int max)
{ return (value >= min) && (value <= max); }

bool rectOverlap(rect A, rect B)
{
    bool xOverlap = valueInRange(A.x, B.x, B.x + B.width) ||
                    valueInRange(B.x, A.x, A.x + A.width);

    bool yOverlap = valueInRange(A.y, B.y, B.y + B.height) ||
                    valueInRange(B.y, A.y, A.y + A.height);

    return xOverlap && yOverlap;
}

最简单的方法是

/**
 * Check if two rectangles collide
 * x_1, y_1, width_1, and height_1 define the boundaries of the first rectangle
 * x_2, y_2, width_2, and height_2 define the boundaries of the second rectangle
 */
boolean rectangle_collision(float x_1, float y_1, float width_1, float height_1, float x_2, float y_2, float width_2, float height_2)
{
  return !(x_1 > x_2+width_2 || x_1+width_1 < x_2 || y_1 > y_2+height_2 || y_1+height_1 < y_2);
}

首先要记住在计算机中坐标系统是颠倒的。x轴与数学中的相同，但y轴向下增大，向上减小。 如果矩形是从中心画的。 如果x1坐标大于x2加上它的一半宽。然后这意味着他们会互相接触。用同样的方法向下+一半高。它会碰撞的。

这是来自《Java编程入门-综合版》中的练习3.28。该代码测试两个矩形是否缩进，一个矩形是否在另一个矩形内，一个矩形是否在另一个矩形外。如果这些条件都不满足，则两者重叠。

**3.28(几何:两个矩形)编写一个程序，提示用户进入 中心x, y坐标，宽度和高度的两个矩形，并确定 第二个矩形是在第一个矩形的内部还是与第一个矩形重叠，如图所示 如图3.9所示。测试您的程序以覆盖所有情况。 下面是示例运行:

输入r1的中心x坐标，y坐标，宽度和高度:2.5 4 2.5 43 输入r2的中心x坐标，y坐标，宽度和高度:1.5 5 0.5 3 R2在r1里面

输入r1的中心x坐标，y坐标，宽度和高度:1 2 3 5.5 输入r2的中心x坐标，y坐标，宽度和高度:3 4 4.5 5 R2和r1重叠

输入r1的中心x坐标，y坐标，宽度和高度:1 2 3 3 输入r2的中心x坐标，y坐标，宽度和高度:40 45 3 2 R2不与r1重叠
