After getting around with the GL and scene handeling which was last night, I was wondering if a way to to do a collision system. Well mostly by quads as if I were to do a cube only collision detection what would be cool too. I was thinking about coming up with my own collision I am currently trying to figure out how to do it. Simply just with the flat plane only.
Yeah a cube collision detection system would be bad for a freespace style space combat game lol.

Well actually it is needed for a simple 3D breakout game I'm going to make.

Use circles.
A Sphere is just a circle but with the radius in ANY direction. So in 3D you just use the distance forumla with the centers of the two spheres and see if the distance < the radii of the two spheres your comparing combined.
Did that sound right? U understood right? If anyone would explain it bettr.

I get it now.
Sphere collision might be very nice to add in the game.

Only 1 prob with it. It uses ^2 and ^.5 which take a lot more calcs for Mr. CPU to do than the 16 Ifs it will take for the cube one.

I'm working on using raycasting to get fairly accurate collision detection in a true physics environment. It's only 2D for the prototype, but I don't really see a problem adding a plane.
