I'm planning to use a quadtree for optimizing collision detection. But this quadtree can handle only one type of objects.

If I use double dispatch after two object pointers are returned by the quadtree in a collision (derived from the same base class that the quadtree can handle) knowing their ID that identifies their type (an int in the base class) , how am I able to use these pointers with their respective type in order to double dispatch?

Any solution or better way to do this? thanks.

A LIMITED SOLUTION:

Before double dispatching, I could make a resolver function that combines both IDs as they were flags into a single parameter, and make a switch that decides which type are obj1 and obj2.

However, its still not very elegant.

Thanks.

I'm planning to use a quadtree for optimizing collision detection. But this quadtree can handle only one type of objects. Is there a way to filter collision detection between some pair of type objects, but having all them on the quadtree? If I derive all my objects from a base class, how can I recognize them in order to make this pair filtering?

If I have an ID on each type object, I can figure out two options:

A- Having a switch into a switch, in a generic collision test function.

B- Have a class having multiple overloaded pair collision function depending on object types as arguments arg1 and arg2. The problem here is how I cast the object types knowing their ID beffore calling the class?

Any solution or better way to do this? thanks.
