XNA

I'm using Box2dx (ported to C#; optimized for XNA). It handles collision resolution, but how can I tell if two objects are currently colliding?

This is the function I'm trying to write:

public bool IsColliding(GameObjectController collider1, GameObjectController collider2)

Where collider1.Model.Body is the Box2d Body, and collider1.Model.BodyDef is the Box2d BodyDef. (The same goes for collider2, of course.)

UPDATE: Looks like contact listeners or this could be useful:

        AABB collisionBox;
        model.Body.GetFixtureList().GetAABB(out collisionBox);

Why does GetFixtureList() return one fixture?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
