// if by "early" you mean it's colliding before the Sprites are touching
// this is because rectCollision checks the bounds of the Sprite, not texture.
// one thing you can do is give the Sprite allowances.

// this only needs to be done once:

myFirstSprite.tAllowance = .2f;// allow .2 units in from the top
// can also be done bottom, left, right
