Nah, just some 2D geometry, nothing too hard.

2D whatnow?

I think you're making up words

You're developing an orbit if you will. Since in this there is something moving seeking something moving, the Pursuer get's 5 pixels away, not enough to trigger it, then the Evaders animation cycle moves it whatever ammount. Pursuer check for hit again, none, so it continues on a velocity that in one cycle over shoots the Evading shuttle past the error margin wherein the evader then makes it's move, then the pursuer "turns around" and over shoots it. and so on and so on. It's never checking for it's hit when it's in range, only when it's slightly out of it. Try trimming you top speed for the Pursuer, or implement a granular simulation, wherin the move function just increments position[0] and position[1] by 1. and just call the move function in a loop that is terminated when the number of times move is called = the velocity. i could write out some pseudo code. but that's your problem. It's a situation that will happen a lot, when a simple hit detection algorithm is used. That's what i get anyway from looking at your code.

Awesome, thanks very much for the link to that steering behaviors page. Ive been working on a game for a while now and that link will help my AI alot!
