Hi

I am having trouble figuring out how to do something that appears kind of complicated...

I have a series of particles scattered about my display. I want to break them into ArrayLists - to be sent to a function that will generate convex hulls - and I want to specify a threshold distance that dictates when a new ArrayList should be created for that grouping.

so...

For all particles in my list

//separate particles into lists where the distance between each and every one within that list is less a threshold distance

measure the distance between each and every other particle

if that distance is more than threshold value
place particles in separate lists

i realize that's pretty sloppy and it needs to get way more explicit. I'm just having trouble picturing it...

any ideas are really appreciated...
