Please read my lengthy answer on this topic here: Beginner question about Collisions

An example of how to resolve the collisions in a top-down game can be seen here in my LD 37 entry:

britzl/oneroom/blob/master/oneroom/player.script#L205-L214


local function change_state(self, state)
	if state == RUN then
		if self.state ~= RUN then
			self.state = RUN
			msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id = hash("player_run") })
		end
	elseif state == IDLE then
		if self.state ~= IDLE then
			self.state = IDLE
			msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id = hash("player_idle") })
