MonoGame physics with two non-rectangular Texture2Ds

Question

In MonoGame, how would I handle collisions and physics between two non-rectangular Texture2Ds? Obviously, since this is a game, speed is crucial. What are my options?

Answer 1

Here's one such example of algorithms.

There are examples littered all over the web.

Essentially you want to check a BIG space around your object and you don't do more accurate checking until objects are more likely to be colliding with one another.
