Hmmm. Try looking at George Bain's tutorials for some v. useful source
(apparently he won't mind if you rip it off without giving credit) ;-)
My first demo, Amateur Wars, is about as simple as 2D games get:
although it isn't exactly written in the most efficient/ sensible way
IMHO that just makes it easier to understand. You can find it on my
website... source included! Feel free to rip the collision detection
from it - after all, I ripped it from Mr Frosty's Snowball Fight source
(along with 99% of my GDUK entry - "Snawboll Fight")

Only kidding Jimbo :-)
