*SpatialHash<T>* is used for broad-phase collision detection. It can quickly return a set of potential collisions of a transformed shape. *SpatialHash<T>* takes an ID type that is used to avoid comparing certain shape-transforms.
|
|
|
|
## Methods
|
|
|
|
##### **public SpatialHash(int cellSize)**
|
|
|
|
Constructor method. Takes an integer representing the width of a cell in the spatial hash.
|
|
|
|
The cell width must not be too large or too small. If the cell width is too small, then shape-transforms will occupy many cells, and the hash check will have to check all of those cells for potential collisions. If the cell width is too large, then many shape-transforms will be contained in each cell and many expensive collision tests will have to be made.
|
|
|
|
A good rule of thumb is picking a cell width that is roughly twice the size of the most common objects in your game.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```cs
|
|
var hash = new SpatialHash<int>(16);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
##### **public void Insert(T id, IShape2D shape, Transform2D Transform2D)**
|
|
|
|
Given an ID, a shape, and corresponding transform, inserts into the spatial hash. Uses the shape's AABB to insert into appropriate hash cells.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```cs
|
|
var hash = new SpatialHash<int>(16);
|
|
|
|
var circle = new MoonTools.Core.Bonk.Circle(8);
|
|
var circleTransform = new Transform2D(new Vector2(16, 16));
|
|
|
|
var rect = new Rectangle(-2, -2, 2, 2);
|
|
var rectTransform = new Transform2D(new Vector2(8, 8));
|
|
|
|
hash.Insert(0, circle, circleTransform);
|
|
hash.Insert(1, rect, rectTransform);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
##### **public IEnumerable<(T, IShape2D, Transform2D)> Retrieve(T id, IShape2D shape, Transform2D Transform2D)**
|
|
|
|
Given an ID, a shape, and corresponding transform, retrieves a set of potential collisions from the spatial hash.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```cs
|
|
var hash = new SpatialHash<int>(16);
|
|
|
|
var circle = new MoonTools.Core.Bonk.Circle(8);
|
|
var circleTransform = new Transform2D(new Vector2(16, 16));
|
|
|
|
var rect = new Rectangle(-2, -2, 2, 2);
|
|
var rectTransform = new Transform2D(new Vector2(8, 8));
|
|
|
|
hash.Insert(0, circle, circleTransform);
|
|
hash.Insert(1, rect, rectTransform);
|
|
|
|
hash.Retrieve(1, rect, rectTransform);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example, the circle we inserted will be in the *IEnumerable* returned by the *Retrieve* call because they both exist in the same hash cell.
|
|
|
|
If a potential colliding shape-transform has the same ID as the one passed into the method, it will not be returned in the *IEnumerable*.

|
##### **public void Clear()**
|
|
|
|
Empties the spatial hash. Useful when the spatial hash contains dynamic data that needs to be updated. |
