[Suggestion] - onBodyEnter Method

I see we have a onCollision method here.

It would be nice I think to also have a onBodyEnter too. I know this isn't a huge suggestion and might not be needed, but helps a lot with creating doors and whatnot!

FWIW, the shapes example uses the low-level collision checks to determine whether the pointer is intersecting with body shapes:

melonJS/examples/shapes/js/entities/entities.js

Line 44 in d5184cb

if (shape.containsPoint(x, y)) {

It's a little more work than a specialized event, but it's something you can easily use today.

Hm, Thanks so far -- I was thinking for the collision / physics system too. Something like this:

game.Player = me.Entity.extend({
  init : function (x, y, data) {
    //var image = me.loader.getImage("player");
        //console.log(data);
       this.data = data;
       this.onBodyEnter = false;
       this._super(me.Entity, "init", [x, y, {
            image: "player",
            width: 72,
            height: 144
        }]);
  },
  update : function (dt) {
    this.body.update(dt);
    me.collision.check(this);
    return this._super(me.Entity, 'update', [dt]);
    },
    onBodyEnter: function(response, other){
        console.log("Body Entered");
    },
    onCollision : function (response, other) {
        //Handle Map Entity Collision
        if(response.b.name == "WarpEntity"){
            this.onBodyEnter(response, other);
                // We need to get this to only run one time on body that entered

        }

      // Make the object solid
      return true;
    }


});

Wow. This is awesome. Okay, so I found that me.collision.check(this) returns if the body is colliding or not.

So, take a look at this:

game.Player = me.Entity.extend({
  init : function (x, y, data) {
       this.data = data;
       this.onBodyEntered = false;
       this._super(me.Entity, "init", [x, y, {
            image: "player",
            width: 72,
            height: 144
        }]);
        this.velx = 450;
        this.vely = 450;
        this.alwaysUpdate = true;
        this.chooseShipImage();
        this.body.setVelocity(0, 0);
        //Collision Shape
        this.body.shapes[0] = new me.Ellipse(this.width/2, this.height/2, this.width/1.3, this.height/1.3);

  },
  update : function (dt) {
    this.body.update(dt);
    if(!me.collision.check(this)){ // They are not colliding
        this.onBodyEntered = false
    }
    return this._super(me.Entity, 'update', [dt]);
    },
    onBodyEnter: function(response, other){
        console.log("Body Entered");
    },
    onCollision : function (response, other) {
        if(response.b.name == "WarpEntity" && this.onBodyEntered == false){
            this.onBodyEnter(response, other);
            this.onBodyEntered = true;
        }
    }


});

It's working fine right now, but do you think I will run into any problems? It basically sets onBodyEntered to false if it's not colliding.... I think I got it? And the onBodyEnter method gets only called once (which is normal)
