ok my question is: can you do this in SDL and what kind of overhead are we talking about and would bound boxing be easyer?

You probably need to start with bounding box. You should come up with your own pixel by pixel when you get some more basics down.

ok one last thing,, when SDL sets an image to a rect it sets the top left corner to the |Rect| right?

asumming this would this be a good function to have

BOOL Sprite_Collision(SDL_Rect R_Hitter,SDL_Surface* I_Hitter,SDL_Rect R_Hittee,SDL_Surface* I_Hittee)
{
if( ((R_Hitter.x <= R_Hittee.x+I_Hittee->w) && (R_Hitter.x >= R_Hittee.x)) && ((R_Hitter.y <= R_Hittee.x+I_Hittee->h) && (R_Hitter.y >= R_Hittee.y)))
{
I_Hitter = NULL;
};
};

i just want a function that will delete the hitter when it enters the bounding rectangle of another object
