Peter, There are some new functions in SVN in the mask module. New ones since 1.8.1 that could be useful for collision are:
Mask.overlap_mask - Returns a mask of the overlapping pixels Mask.draw - Draws a mask onto another Mask.erase - Erases a mask from another Mask.count - Returns the number of set pixels Mask.centroid - Returns the centroid of the pixels in a Mask Mask.angle - Returns the orientation of the pixels Mask.connected_component - Returns a mask of a connected region of pixels. The mask module does pixel collisions pretty quickly. I think on modern systems it shouldn't be a significant difference (compared to say, blitting) between using pixel perfect detection and something like the seperating axis theorem.
