The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to create solid object in my game.

Asked by KG1973 in Game Programming, Miscellaneous Games, Other Strategy Games

Hi,
I am new with game development. Currently I am creating simple game (VS 2008 C++ and XML). The game should be simple. The following code actually contain :
1. Background (garden)
2. Tree
3. Boy character, walking around the garden.

The boy can walk around including passig through the Tree.

What I want to do is,
1. to create a new object/sprite called "Fence". And the boy can walk anywhere around the garden, but he should not be allowed to pass through the fence. I assumed that the fence is solid object. At this stage I don't border so much the location of the fence.

2. create another obeject, let say "Tunnel" or "Cave". When the boy go into the tunnel/Cave, then new screen will be displayed, as if new level of the game with new background but with the same character (Boy).

I'd marked the code //================= Help me here ============================, which I think where the changes should be, or state otherwise.

Thanks.
