I have a script that starts with a loop like:

for (i=1;i\<6;i++) {

MC\_mc.\_x = random(10);  
MC\_mc.\_y = random(10);  
}

That works fine. The MCs are scattered all around the stage.

But many overlap and I can’t have that. I know it’s collision detection and I’m pretty sure I need a nested FOR loop to check each time, but the syntax eludes me. I’m not super fluent with FOR loops.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
