Hello all, I'm trying to find a collision detection algorithm or tutorial or something and I can't find squat. I know there's tons of stuff out there, but I'm generally not good with Google searches. I checked GameDev.net but couldn't find anything that worked. All help is appreciated. |

2D or 3D? |

Gah! 3D. (I could'a' swore I put that in the first post!) |

Best to go with a preexisting physics engine. I highly recommend PAL with ODE. |

I downloaded PAL and ODE and then it told me to use some crazy Unix thing to install it, and I can't figure out how in the heck to do it. Am I downloading from the wrong location, or am I just not understanding what they're trying to tell me? |

ODE and PAL both have xcode projects. |

Then they must not be standard, because I can't find any projects on my computer, either what I downloaded or on the hard drive.(i.e., link?) |

*shrug* You can easily put together an xcodeproj for PAL, and as for ODE, if you don't like it, swap in another physics library. That's the beauty of PAL. |

PAL is 100 files! I add that to my project and I'll be lost trying to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do. What do you do? |

Not to rain on your parade, but if you can't figure this out, perhaps you have bit off a bit more than you can chew? |

I'm still a beginner, and if I were to start a project like this I'd be discouraged for awhile when I realize it's too much. |

This is actually what I need for the next step in my programming. The problem is, I can't figure out how to make frameworks (and I would stick the files in one, but it's (Xcode) confusing me badly).I just thought that maybe I could put all the files in a subfolder in Xcode - it would work, just it wouldn't be as neat as a framework, and I'd have to add the files to each project. *goes and tries it* That's an interesting way to do it... I still don't understand how to use it, though. Anybody have a tutorial they would be willing to link?

It's a lot harder for me because I have finals week next week in school, so I'm trying to do a hundred different things and then add this into it. The point is to stick with it, though, and get it done. It's taken me a few months what a full-time programmer could have done in weeks, but I think I'm making a lot of progress considering what else I have to do in Real Life™.
