- Hi. I hope that the AI world may be able to help me with this.. I've already
- tried the graphics people, too.
-
- I'm looking for an efficient algorithm for collision detection. I will be
- coding a program in C on a Macintosh, and need to be able to quickly detect
- collisions between 2 - 75 arbitrary objects. I will know their positions and
- shapes, of course. Pseudo-code, or straight code, or any references to good
- articles would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.
