Cannot Implicitly Convert Type in XNA

Question

i have a bouncing ball, and i tried to make so when it bounces once, the speed gets higher.

In my ball class, i have a float speed;

and i initialize

Answer 1

The speed needs to be float. If you want to keep the speed as a float, you could create your own rectangle structure. You could do something like this:

        public struct RectangleF
    {
        float w = 0;
        float h = 0;
        float x = 0;
        float y = 0;

        public float Height
        {
            get { return h; }
            set { h = value; }
        }

        //put Width, X, and Y properties here

        public RectangleF(float width, float height, float X, float Y)
        {
            w = width;
            h = height;
            x = X;
            y = Y;
        }

        public bool Intersects(Rectangle refRectangle)
        {
            Rectangle rec = new Rectangle((int)x, (int)y, (int)w, (int)h);
            if (rec.Intersects(refRectangle)) return true;
            else return false;
        }
    }

The intersection checking won't be absolutely perfect, but at least your rectangle's X and Y could have 0.5 added on to them. HTH
