In my game the player uses a Rectangle for his bounding box, he can do this because I only need to rotate the player image and not the acctual rectangle but for a eletric beam that one of the bosses have I need to use a Shape because I need to rotate the acctual bounding box and not only the image. The problem is that because I have one Rectangle and one Shape I can’t use rectangle.intersect(shape) nor rectangle.intersect((Rectangle)shape), I also can’t use the Shapes getBounds() method because that woud defeat the purpose of using a Shape so how would I be able to check the collision between the rectangle and the shape? or is there a way that I can rotate a rectangle on instead of a shape (I use the createTransformedShape instance of an AffineTransform to rotate the shape )?
