Circle

Introduction

The Circle object is commonly used for collision and as a placeholder graphic in game development. Circles can be added to entities which implement the ICollidable interface to act as the entity's collision shape.

To add a circle to an existing entity:

1. Expand the entity

2. Right-click on the entity's Objects folder

3. Select Add Object

4. Verify the FlatRedBall or Custom Type option is selected

5. Select Circle

6. Click OK

Adding a Circle to a New Entity

Circles can also be added to a new entity. To do this:

1. Right-click on Entities

2. Select Add Entity

3. Check the Circle option. Notice that this automatically checks the ICollidable check box.
