   XNA Rectangle.Intersects()
  Just a Quick Question :I am Writing a Pong game and have defined a rectangletopXRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, ScreenWidth, -(ScreenHeight / 10));now when i useif(player[0].posRect.Intersects(topXRect)){}does the Rectangle.Intersects(Rectangle) Function dectect the moment the Rectangles intersect, or when there is a large portion of the Rectangles Intersect?(i am trying to create a boundary so my pongRacket cannot leave the Game Screen)   
  I believe Rectangle.Intersects() simple returns a boolean, true if the rectangles intersect at all, false otherwise.Alternativly there is also Rectangle.Contains(), which returns true if the rectangle completely contains the other rectangle, and false otherwise.   ;  Ok thanks, that's exactly what I thought XD   ;  Rather than checking every frame if the paddle is on the screen (which it seems is what you're doing) why not just do a check when the paddle moves to make sure it's still on the screen? You really only need to check the X property of the paddle, not do a whole Rectangle check, right?   ;  yes, which is what I was doing originally checking if the yPos of my Racket was still on the screen, this worked! (& works) The Reason I wanted to detect a collision Via Rectangles was to see if it was a viable method of detecting a collision between my racket and my Ball, However after testing this wont work as the Rectangles are colliding multiple time Per Second resulting in a "stuck" ball
