Quadtree

Quadtree is a powerful spatial indexing technique. Wikipedia.

Every now and then I been thinking to implement a collision detect function using quadtree. Playing with quadtrees is so fascinating that I haven't got as far as collision detect, but I have a simple general quadtree demo page online. Play with it. It's inspiring.

If you are interested in experimenting, I enclosed the basic functions in QT.js library. The collision detector will be there too but I have some different applications in mind first.
