Collisions and types

When I do my collision detection I have to do a nested FOR loop which means it is a loop of 10,000 comparisons when I only have 200 entities on the screen at a time.

If I put each characteristic of each entity into seperate arrays I can directly access them without the need for nested loops.

I am about to start rewriting the whole program.

Has anyone else experienced this?

You can then instantly get the Type object from the collided Entity.

ah yeh thanks for the tip

Yeah great bit of code that.
