Beginner C++ Game Programming Tutorial 5
From Chilipedia
Comparison and Boolean logic operators. Operators galore! Make if statements great again! Let the int dick measuring contests begin! Also, collision detection between rectangles, which is useful for stuff.
Concepts Taught
- Comparison operators (
>,<,==,>=,<=,!=) - Boolean operators (
&&,||,!) - Using parentheses to change order of evaluation (effectively changing what an operator works on)
- Collision (overlap) detection of rectangular regions (in the homework)

Homework
Draw two targeting boxes, one controlled with the arrow keys and one stationary, and have the color of the mobile targeting box change whenever the targeting boxes overlap.
The solution is given in this video.
