Code example:

#include <string.h>
...
    id obj;
        char *objClass;

        // what is there where we want to move to?
        obj = [myWorld getObjectAtX: newX Y: newY];
    ...
        objClass = [[obj class] name];
        if (!strcmp (objClass, "Shark"))  // there is another shark?
        {
                // switch position
        ...

this would assume your classes are derived from SwarmObject.
