Pluralsight Building Your First Game For Android And The PC Using Java

Question

Im working on this curs, folow all steps but got error. Problem is

 public boolean playerShotTouches(Rectangle boundingBox) {
    Iterator<AnimatedSprite> i = shots.iterator();
    while(i.hasNext())
    {
        AnimatedSprite shot = i.next();
        if(Intersector.intersectRectangles(shot.getBoundingBox(), boundingBox))
        {
            i.remove();
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

android studio report:

Error:(108, 27) error: method intersectRectangles in class Intersector cannot be applied to given types; required: Rectangle,Rectangle,Rectangle found: Rectangle,Rectangle reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

Answer 1

Can you post the relevant code from the course? The intersectRectangles method has always take 3 Rectangles as parameters. The 3rd one is the intersection rectangle to the area of overlap. So your code could do something like this:

AnimatedSprite shot = i.next();
Rectangle myIntersection = new Rectangle();
if(Intersector.intersectRectangles(shot.getBoundingBox(), boundingBox, myIntersection))
