Collision Detection - Need optimization/faster method

[chemicalNova]

ChemicalNova: i was in no way shape or form planning on having 999^3 objects on screen at once. An absolute MAXIMUM might be 20-30 once the game is done. Also, i have changed the code so now there are only 999^2 objects being controlled, and unless that many are spawned, its far less.

I'm also not trying to be an ass, but if the maximum is 20-30, how does this work:

there are only 999^2 objects being controlled, and unless that many are spawned, its far less.

? If theres a maximum why do you still need to loop 999^2 times? :/
