How to Make a Game

//put related components into classes
class collisions {
    bool check_col(obj1*, obj2*); //you should have a base object class that all
    void handle_col(obj1*, obj2*); //game objects are derived from, for easy passing to functions

    public:
        void handle_all(); //handles EVERYTHING collision related
    }Collision;

class rendering {
    void bots();
    void bullets();
    void players();

    public:
        void draw_all(); //calls other functions for rendering
    }Renderer;

//this allows collision management and rendering in your game loop to be as simple as:
Renderer.draw_all();
Collision.handle_all();

    AI.update_bots(); //let your bots move

    Collision.handle_col(); //check for collisions

    Game.check_win(); //see if the player won or lost

    Renderer.draw_all(); //draw everything

    Game.sleep(); //pause so your game doesn't run too fast
    //your game lib of choice will have a function for this
