Collission detection

[Tomm Schuman]

I'm doing collission detection to my game.
I already have bounding boxes and the game checks if they intersects.
But my problem is how do i get the player stop when the boxes intersect.
I have been trying to do it without success.
The movement of the player goes like this.

 //Move Player1
x = x + dx;
y = y + dy;

Could someone help me?

You should probably use an if statement. In pseudocode, it would look something like this:

if player does not collide with another object
    x += dx
    y += dy

(Note: "x += dx" is a shortcut for "x = x + dx".)

I'll leave it to you to find out the exact syntax for an if statement as well as the logic for "player does not collide with another object".

I still have the same problem i always had when the players collide they get stuck and can't move. The problem is that they can move from 0-8 pixels in one direction because i have 360� movement. It would be easier if it always was 1 pixel. Any suggestions about how i should change my code?

Here is my code

 //Player1 collissions//
                //Collission with player1//
if (box1 != null){
if (box1.intersects(box2)){
collission1 = true;
}
else{
collission1 = false;
}
} 
                //Player2 collissions//
 
//Collission with player2//
if (box2 != null){
if (box2.intersects(box1)){
collission = true;
}
else{
collission = false;
}
}
//Move Player1
if (collission == false){
x = x + dx;
y = y + dy;
}

//Move Player2
if (collission1 == false){
x1 = x1 + dx1;
y1 = y1 + dy1;
}
