I've found that doing good collision detection is hard because GETPIX is really slow, like 1.5ms on a standard Prime (3X faster on a G2, which is nice).

I suppose experienced game designers have techniques to do it better with less brute force pixel searching.

I wonder if the design team has any secret recipes for reading the pixels more quickly. It would probably involve a lot of arcane low level stuff.
