What is the Bounds Class?

The Bounds class in MiniScript is a built-in tool for handling rectangular bounding boxes.it defines an area in 2D space, making it easy to detect overlaps.

Why is it important?

If you're developing a game, you need to know when objects collide, when a player clicks on an item, or when a character enters a certain zone.

Features of the Bounds Class

Positioning & Dimensions

Every Bounds object has an (x, y) position that represents its center. Instead of using a top-left or bottom-left corner, MiniScript centers everything. This makes rotations and scaling easy

Bounds.x and Bounds.y – Define the center point.
Bounds.width and Bounds.height – Set the size.

Rotation Support

Bounds in MiniScript can rotate! Using Bounds.rotation

This is super useful for angled collision detection.

Corner Coordinates

The Bounds.corners property gives you a list of [x, y] pairs, making it easy to work with collision systems.

Collision Detection

The Bounds class provides two important methods for collision detection;

Bounds.overlaps(b) - Checks if two bounding boxes overlap.
Bounds.contains(x, y) - Checks if a point is inside the bounding box.
