    Default Collision Detection Problem Using Rectangles - Player sometimes passes through the tiles.

    I have already tried every possible way for removing this bug but all failed. The problem is that sometimes my player passes through the map tiles, i mean, the algorithm is like -- if not colliding, move in required direction; else if colliding, move in opposite direction. But sometimes the second condition fails i dont understand why.

    private void movement(){
    	left=bindObject.getLeft();
    	right=bindObject.getRight();
    	up=bindObject.getUp();
    	down=bindObject.getDown();
    	bindObject.setColliding(colliding);
    	lastHorz=bindObject.getLastHorz();
    	lastVert=bindObject.getLastVert();
     
    	//IF NOT COLLIDING
    	if(colliding==false){
    		if(left==true){
    			x--;
    		}
    		else if(right==true){
    			x++;
    		}
    		if(up==true){
    			y--;
    		}
    		else if(down==true){
    			y++;
    		}
    		if(left==false && right==false){
    			bindObject.setLastHorz(null);
    		}
    		if(up==false && down==false){
    	         	bindObject.setLastVert(null);
    		}
    	}
     
    	//IF COLLIDING
    	if(colliding==true){
    		if(lastHorz=="l" && lastVert==null){
     
    		        x++;
    		}
    		else if(lastHorz=="r" && lastVert==null){
    			x--;
    		}
    		else if(lastVert=="u" && lastHorz==null){
    			y++;
    		}
    		else if(lastVert=="d" && lastHorz==null){
    			y--;
    		}
     
    		else if(lastHorz=="l" && lastVert=="u" && y>=(int)cRec.getY()+49){
    			y++;
    		}
    		else if(lastHorz=="l" && lastVert=="u" && y<(int)cRec.getY()+49){
    			x++;
    		}
     
    		else if(lastHorz=="r" && lastVert=="u" && y>=(int)cRec.getY()+49){
    			y++;
    		}
    		else if(lastHorz=="r" && lastVert=="u" && y<(int)cRec.getY()+49){
    			x--;
    		}
     
    		else if(lastHorz=="l" && lastVert=="d" && y<=(int)cRec.getY()-49){
    			y--;
    		}
    		else if(lastHorz=="l" && lastVert=="d" && y>(int)cRec.getY()-49){
    			x++;
    		}
     
    		else if(lastHorz=="r" && lastVert=="d" && y<=(int)cRec.getY()-49){
    			y--;
    		}
    		else if(lastHorz=="r" && lastVert=="d" && y>(int)cRec.getY()-49){
    			x--;
    		}
    	}
     
    }
     
    private void collision(){
    	for(Rectangle temp: tileList){
    		if(player.intersects(temp)){
    			colliding=true;
    			cRec=temp;
    			break;
    		}
    	}
    	if(cRec!=null){
    		if(player.intersects(cRec)==false){
    			colliding=false;
    		}
    	}
    }

    , where bindObject is a class which contains key bindings of following keys:-

    left arrow key (when pressed) , left arrow key (when released),
    right arrow key (when pressed), right arrow key (when released),
    up arrow key (when pressed), up arrow key (when released),
    down arrow key (when pressed), down arrow key (when released)

    Default Re: Collision Detection Problem Using Rectangles - Player sometimes passes through the tiles.

    Please see Announcements - What's Wrong With My Code? for useful information, including how to use the code tags to preserve code formatting. Given your code is difficult to read as currently posted, a quick glance shows issues such as

    lastVert=="d"

    Presuming lastVert is a String type, use the equals method of the String class to compare Strings. See http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...html#post18725
