How can I improve collision detection performance in my game?

How can I improve collision detection performance in my game?

You can optimize collision detection by using spatial partitioning techniques like quad-trees or octrees.

What are quad-trees and how do they work?

Quad-trees are data structures that divide a 2D space into four quadrants, allowing for efficient querying of objects.

Are there any other techniques I should consider?

Yes, you might also explore bounding volume hierarchies and broad-phase collision detection to reduce checks.

How do bounding volume hierarchies improve performance?

Bounding volume hierarchies group objects into a tree structure, allowing you to quickly eliminate large groups of non-colliding objects.
