Looping through an array of data in each `#tick` and then doing _something_ is the stuff games are made of! Here are some ways this can be applied in all sorts of games: enemy behavior, checking for collision, animating. As our game (and any game you make) gets more complex, looping through collections of data becomes more and more common.

## Switching to Hashes
|
||||
|
||||
So far throughout the book we've been using arrays to represent the entities in our game, whether it be the player's dragon sprite or our fireball text that gets displayed. Remember `[args.state.player_x, args.state.player_y, 'fireball']`? Arrays are wonderful and important, but they aren't so great for representing structured data because it's difficult to remember what each piece of data in the array's positions represents. Remembering that `fireball[2]` is the text value and not the y value is tricky. Luckily, DragonRuby has a more verbose and clear data structure we can use for managing our data. It's called a hash! Much like arrays, hashes are extremely useful.

Collision detection is when one object overlaps with another object in our game. Because we're manufacturing the space the game exists in, there's no physics like we have in real life. We need to simulate that by checking to see if two objects are attempting to exist in the same point and react accordingly.

Our fireball sprite is a 32x32 square, so we want to check in every single game loop whether or not the points of the fireball's square overlapping with any of the points of the targets. If they are overlapping, then we do that _something_.

We could employ trigonometry to determine if a given point in one shape overlaps with another, but DragonRuby gives us a helpful method to handle this for us: `args.geometry.intersect_rect? rect_1, rect_2`
