How it works...
The
Bullet
class can almost be seen as a slow ray. The
Ray
instance we have in
Bul-
let
is mostly out of convenience, since it's already prepared to collide with targets. By in-
crementing the position of the ray and having a short limit for it, we have a
Ray
instance
that takes little steps forward in the game world, checking for collisions in each update.
If a collision has occurred, the returned
CollisionResult
contains information about
where the collision has occurred, with what, and whether it can be used to build further
functionalities.
