I have two Rotated images that rotate at a random degree and I want to know when they collide with each other. I tried a simple collision detection for rectangles but it doesn't work when they are rotated. I would really appreciate some help.

What I have tried:

// take two images and check if they overlap
function rectIntersect(x1, y1, w1, h1, x2, y2, w2, h2) {
// Check x and y for overlap
if (x2 > w1 + x1 || x1 > w2 + x2 || y2 > h1 + y1 || y1 > h2 + y2) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

You're comparing "polygons"; not "images". You use a matrix transform to rotate the corners; then you use the corners of of the polygons to see if "one point (corner) of one polygon is inside the other".

I don't think checking the corners is enough ;)

How do you intersect two rectangles without at least one corner? Think about it.

Yes think about it. Take two squares, rotate one for 45°....
