Shouldn't it be Autocollide not HeteroCollide?

I have been Wondering this.
The definition of Hetero means other
Auto means self
So shouln't it be Auto Collide?

auto can also mean automatic, like autopilot
HomoCollide might be what you are looking for


I'm guessing HeteroCollide means to collide ONLY with collision groups different from its own.

It should be heteroCollide because it's NO self-collision, meaning it only collides with things in other (hetero) collision groups. Or just noSelfCollide.

That probably wouldn't work so well purely because many a student will ask themselves "LOLZORZ Y IZ ALGODOO GAY?"

but dude, the chance for jokes about algodoo will skyrocket, making more people view it! homocollide is genius

and besides, people might think algodoo is discriminating against homosexuals (sans the pretty colors of algodoo), so we NEED something to show that we accept homosexuals as well! pure brilliance! :D i support

I had a couple of line breaks to show a change of thoughts. I wasn't actually serious about renaming autocollide with homocollide. HetereoCollide already makes sense right now, and it would be a bit annoying to change the name at this stage.
