Java Collision Detection Not Working
<p>I have made threads in the past about similar questions but because of my lack of detail the answers have not really been related to what I needed so I am going to try explain my question in as much detail as I can and hopefully it will be easier for you to understand what I require.</p>

<p>I watched Bucky's slick game tutorials on youtube and made a 2D Java game, the game is basically a 2D player viewed from above (birds eye view) can move around a 2D map with user key input (up, down, left, right). The map the player moves around is very small so that meant boundaries had to be set so that the player could not walk off of the map, to give you a better idea of how this was done, here is the tutorial for setting up the voundries:</p>

<p>The video will also show you exactly what the game is like. 
The problem is, these boundaries only require one axis meaning that if the player is walking down you say something like "if player gets to the coordinate (number) on the X axis change the player movement to the opposite direction so that he can not go any further." 
Now this creates a problem for me because this only requires one axis so it easy to set up and understand but if you look on the video, on the map there is a house and I want my player not to be able to walk over that also but this deals with 2 dimensions, I have looked at things like rectangle collisions and have seen things relating to them in the other posts but I get confused because I am new to Java and havent really done much with it at the moment apart from watching Bucky's tutorials.</p>

<p>My code at the moment for my game class has got the following methods: init, render and update. So to sum it up I really just want to set up a way of not letting my player walk through the house, I will mention also (I should have mentioned it in my other threads) as I am very new to Java, could you please take a step by step method of showing me how to set up the collisions, I mean even the basics of things like making the rectangle if required.</p>

<p>If my code is required please tell me and I will post it as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
