How to make a div "collect coins" with jquery

[brooke_theperson]

I was just wondering, how do you make a div, or a character run and when it comes in contact with a coin, it collects the coin? Like if mario were running and he collects a coin.

You can't do that with jQuery. You need to program that in Javascript. It's called a collision detection algorithm. The simplest ones are either rectangular collision testing or circular collision testing.

 

Looks like MDN even has an article about it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Games/Techniques/2D_collision_detection

 

You're entering the realm of game development, I warn you that nothing is easy in game development.
