Snooker Game Collision detection

[Daz]

Hi, i am creating a snooker game in java 2d at the moment, but i am not sure what collision detection strategy to use. Anyone got any ideas?

Area.intersects( Area ) will be fast enough for snooker, since you have so few balls, and it's built-in to Java2D.

I am not sure what u mean, i am quite new to java 2d programming
