You can try to emulate two kinds of collisions: real collisions, or collisions fixed by a board or something similar. If you want a real collision (locate the sphere touching with other sphere) the only way that will work correctly is using ODE. That's because real collisions are very complex to find in a small amount of time, and, if you try to create your own algorithm, it probably will end being too slow (because you will end doing this with python).
But if you want to do a "snake game", maybe you don't need any of these real collisions, if your snake walks over a board or something similar. I mean, if you are trying to create a classic snake game (90ยบ turns and so) but with a new appareance, you can implement your own collisions using the board. Even if you want to try a game with less restrictions, the "board" is the most efficient way to know what's happening. Some collisions systems use a "grid" to know in a very fast way if two shapes may collide. 2011/7/1 Fabio Varesano <fabio.vares...@gmail.com>: > Hi everyone, > > Do you remember the snake videogame? > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_%28video_game%29 > > I'm trying to implement something like that using Soya starting from > basic-5.py. > > I'm now trying to detect when a collision happens, I mean when the > Caterpillar head pass over its own body.
