minigame hitboxes too big?

[7yl4r]

asteroid hitboxes, possible also the ship's, are way too big. You need a contoured mesh, not a circle/box around the asteroid and the ship. In some cases the ship was obviously nowhere near the asteroid they still collided

To fix this is to use a json outline of the sprites as described in this tutorial. So something like:

vm.preload = function(){
    // stuff...
    // load the physics data json
    game.load.physics('asteroidPhysics', 'asteroid_physics.json');
    // more stuff..
}

// even more stuff...

vm.asteroid = vm.game.add.sprite(
        rnd(w*2/3.0, w*9/10.0),
        rnd(h/10.0, h*9/10.0),
        'a3');

// remove all of the current collision shapes from the physics body
vm.asteroid.body.clearShapes();

// load our polygon physics data
vm.asteroid.body.loadPolygon('asteroidPhysics', 'asteroid1');

first we need to get those .json files for the ship and the asteroids, and the recommended software is windows/mac exclusive (boo).
