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;
};

//some area of the r1 overlaps r2
bool overlap(const Rect &r1, const Rect &r2)
{
    return r1.x1 < r2.x2 && r2.x1 < r1.x2 &&
           r1.y1 < r2.y2 && r2.x1 < r1.y2;
}

//either the rectangles overlap or the edges touch
bool touch(const Rect &r1, const Rect &r2)
{
    return r1.x1 <= r2.x2 && r2.x1 <= r1.x2 &&
           r1.y1 <= r2.y2 && r2.x1 <= r1.y2;
}

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“>”。

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。

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;
}

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。

bool Square::IsOverlappig(Square &other)
{
    bool result1 = other.x >= x && other.y >= y && other.x <= (x + width) && other.y <= (y + height); // other's top left falls within this area
    bool result2 = other.x >= x && other.y <= y && other.x <= (x + width) && (other.y + other.height) <= (y + height); // other's bottom left falls within this area
    bool result3 = other.x <= x && other.y >= y && (other.x + other.width) <= (x + width) && other.y <= (y + height); // other's top right falls within this area
    bool result4 = other.x <= x && other.y <= y && (other.x + other.width) >= x && (other.y + other.height) >= y; // other's bottom right falls within this area
    return result1 | result2 | result3 | result4;
}
