There are four relevant functions in the sprite module: collide_rect, spritecollide, groupcollide and spritecollideany: collide_rect is for checking for a collision between a sprite and another sprite (returns bool) spritecollide is for checking for a collision between a sprite and a group (returns a list of sprites from the group) groupcollide is for checking for a collision between a group and another group (returns a dict of lists of sprites) spritecollideany is for checking for a collision between a sprite and a group when you don't care *which* sprite(s) in the group collided, just that *any* did (returns bool) So you could do: Returning a bool: pygame.sprite.collide_rect(monster, player) pygame.sprite.spritecollideany(player, MGroup) pygame.sprite.spritecollideany(monster, PGroup) Returning a collection saying what collided: pygame.sprite.spritecollide(player, MGroup) pygame.sprite.spritecollide(monster, PGroup) pygame.sprite.groupcollide(PGroup, MGroup)
