Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] collision detection

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

Yeah, I'm still working on it. ;) Basically what I was thinking would be 
good about the design is that it would allow for an easy iteration 
process. So at first we can just use the scenegraph for the first pass and 
implement the second pass by always reporting a collision. Thus we would 
have implemented a basic collision detection system that reports 
collisions when bounding boxes intersect. In the next iteration we could 
use a more advanced intersection algorithm to implement a more exact 
second pass. From there we could work towards detecting collisions in 4D 
by doing sweep tests rather than just testing the final position.

Obviously all that needs to be added to the doc. ^_^ I guess I was just 
looking for initial feedback.

Sorry about the URL ... here's the correct one:

http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/isugamedev/midworld/doc/CollDetDesign.html
