[Windstille-devel] collision detection questions

[David Kamphausen]

1) First of all - should I start with it though I didn't finish this slope 
thing, yet?
2) GameObject will be derived from CollisionObject (and RefCounter) ? But each 
GameObject's child has to define the its shape and its behaviour itself.
3) Where should I put the CollisionEngine ? I think it would be best to 
instantiate it in Sector.
4) MatzeB suggested, that collision with the tilemap should be done 
seperately. As it makes good sense for rectangular tiles, it maybe somewhat 
easier, if we integrate slope-tiles within the CollisionEngine, because this 
way the hard programming on these would be saved. If I integrate some small 
quadtree in it, it will easily handle all the used tiles in acceptable time.

Some general question:
1) Prince of Persia, Flashback and so on have some discrete kind of movement.
So every time you hit the walk key, you end up on the same spot, regardless 
the time you pressed it.
Otherwise we'll have to automatically "arrange" the player to the tiles, so 
that he can climb up or down.
