Player/object collision detection

[benwiley4000]

• [x] Prevent player from walking into boxes occupied by objects
• [ ] If we have time, we can try to implement a more advanced 3D collision detection technique

[benwiley4000]

Consider some spatial data structure techniques for optimizing collision checks:

• Use grids (or quad trees) to subdivide XZ plane into rectangles for faster collision object lookup
• Use hierarchical bounding volumes to collide player with hierarchically-organized procedural models

Update - current technique is to generate 2d hitboxes based on vertices at same y-range as player.
