I'm just getting into game dev, though starting with the tic 80 [0]. I've found it kind of funny how, like, matter-of-fact it is. In my mind there was always some magic algorithm going on and I guess there arguably is but it more like, "check the x and y coords plus the character's height and width and do those coords touch a coord on the map that is considered solid and if so, set the player's velocity to 0." It's like, "Oh ya, duh. Damn, I was hoping it was just magic." In the spirit of this article, I was going hard at it for several days but have not worked on it since last week.
