I hope so too... My first 'issue' is the fact my game and attacks heavily rely on a particle effect system. Now how do you check whether 5,000 particles are hitting each player every frame... Hmm. I'm thinking of filtering it by angle then distance instead of re-calculating particle positions and then trying to match them.

You could use a spatial collision algorithm - put each particle into a 2d grid 'slot' by it's location, and then when you check the player, see which 2d slots the player is covering and only look in those slots for particle collisions.

This will speed things up lots!!

cheers,
