Reading a RGB from a DirectDraw Surface

Question

Hello Please help me!! In order to do some sprite collision does anybody know how I can read each rgb value from a direct draw surface? I see that from a Bitmap you can use getPixel() method but there is no such method when using a DDS. Please help me as it is crucial in order for me to finish my game. Nick.

Cheers mate That was my second option bit of a long way round I suppose but collision is always the hardest part. Thanks for your reply Nick

I believe your best solution (I couldn't find anything in the DD documentation) would be to use the blitting coordinates and the sprite bitmaps to do per-pixel collision detection.
