Does anybody out there know of a fast efficient way to detect and handle
colliding objects in two dimensions (there may be multiple objects colliding
as well)...

it may be a similar problem to gas particles colliding...

Part of my Honours project is to animate objects and then detect when they
collide and generate there new position...the problems come in when after a
collision occurs the object then collides with another object, when it bounces
away...


Any suggestions or good algorithms???
Please email me...

Thanks in advance,
