Grant Skinner has Proximity Manager which does something similar... http://gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/02/source_code_gri.html Mark Winterhalder wrote: On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 11:34 PM, Elia Morling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is the best collision system for a platform game?

[Flashcoders] Lightweight Collision for Platform Game
What is the best collision system for a platform game? I've currently looked at box2D, but I think it runs amazingly slow on afew macs and other machines. Therefore I wonder if there is anything faster lightweight? I think I may need move towards a ray placed under the character instead of actually box-to-box collision. Any ideas?
