Wow! It's really cool. And very fast, even on the P200! (Of course, it
just has to check 2 objects). OTOH, it's entirly written in Python. I
expect a C++ version will be much faster even. :)

Just one issue: might be an off-by-one error: place obj1 above obj2 and
then move downwards until you hit obj2 in the middle. In that case, both
lines overlap. Now if you slide to the left or right, and slide back
again, you'll suddenly collide. But that's just a minor thing.

I doubt that anyone can win a beer of you without some hand-editing in
The Gimp ;).


So that's really great once more. Can't wait to see this with more
objects and true 3D movement ;).

Btw, I had to make a few changes to get it working with autoconf 2.53
and automake 1.6. There's still an odd bug: it can't automatically build
the libraries in the subdirectories. Always complains like "no rule to
build xyz/libxyz.a". It finds the libs if I build them manually though.
Really weird.
