You should learn how to do your own research. There have been various threads about this topic already. Hint: search for pixel perfect collision or per pixel collision. Or simply for worms...

Also, it seems like you're jumping from one idea to another. I'd stick with something simple if I were you, and get that done. Once you've got a working game, you can expand it if you want to. Flying from one idea to another, asking loads of questions but never actually starting something isn't going to get you anywhere with your thesis.

Depends what your Libs your using, but I think that jnrdev (that link) covers it in the pixel perfect bit. Unfortunately he doesnt have any source code up atm

Then what you should do is google some OpenGL things. Maybe try searching "getting pixel values in OpenGL" or something along those lines. Just learn the methods involved in reading in pixels with OpenGL and then you will be on your way.
