You don't see the hitbox, but you could draw it.

See here: http://worms2d.info/User:Etho/Physics_Engine There's worm collision mask drawn at the bottom of the page. Now the worm's sprite rotates during gameplay, but collision mask doesn't (I don't recall the source of this info). By comparing screenshots of the game to a picture of collision mask, I think it's perfectly possible to find out what bit of land it touched.

How do you judge then? There's no DEFINITE way of judging by the eye if the worms hitbox has touched something (mainly because you can't see the hitbox), so you're either going by sound (which I'm not sure works in all cases, I'll find out, though) or by judging the worm's movement after the contact (eg: if it bounces back it means it has touched).

I never judged by sound. Watching the sprite turn around/change orientation, as you said, turned out to be accurate enough in cases encountered so far. I'm talking about rope races, to be clear. Judging whether a worm touched a wall in wxw could be trickier, but I'm sure it could be accurately tested offline, by comparing pictures, say.

@Komo. I'm not familiar with that game, can't say why MI decided the way he did.

when does a worm touch something? when there is virtual contact? ergo, hitbox vs hitbox, or when there is visual contact (worm has visual "mass" that goes through hitboxes)?

In solving complaints, we've count a contact when the collision mask ("hitbox") touches terrain, not the sprite.

If you spot a fake game, by all means, tell us about it. I just don't see nothing particulary wrong with the games Riviva linked to.

The first game is a rematch after drop, doncha think?  The shopper, well, it's still a shopper and if they both agree about the scheme... You can nag to MI to have a talk with him if you want. The guy's a noob basher for sure, but saying this is ruining the league - really?

It's a draw. We'll delete the game.

Netherland-Portugal: Bookies give an average odds of 5.00 for Netherland to win with atleast two goals = 20% probability.

In reality, much overestimated.
