          • Definition(s)
            • Hitboxes are a developer's way of defining the space around an object — usually one that's animated — that can be hit in real-time. Some objects will have a set of hitboxes that overlap each other, ensuring that no matter how fast the thing is going, the range around its shape is as accurate as mathematically possible Mashable

            • If you want to give an attack more “priority” you give it a bigger hitbox. This allows it to beat other moves with smaller hitboxes. - Gamecrate by
            • Why have we singled out first-person shooters for this feature? Because it’s the genre that contains the most varied hitboxes, and where hitboxes have the most tangible impact on the action. - gitconnected by
