Here is an image of what I've created. It's enough the same at the moment as it is in this picture. In the picture the purpleish squares are "enemies" and the white square in the middle is the player. The purplish squares are hard-coded to seek out the player. My goal is to make everything able to collide with everything else.
The problem is, the basic collision detection methods that I have tried to implement were each flawed somehow. The big flaw that they all seem to share is the fact that they will indeed detect a collision, but something will go wrong and things start to overlap and eventually turn into a giant meteorite chasing the player around.
Optimization aside (because I know that's a whole different beast when it comes to large-scale collision detection), I was wondering if anyone could provide a couple of general algorithms to look into regarding collision detection, or any ideas that I can try to implement myself.
As it is now, I've completely scrapped everything I had to do with the collision detection so I can start again from scratch.
