im starting to make it so if a matrix tile is under an explosion, it will go down a little.
i thought of putting it all in a for loop and check if each tile is within the area of the circle, then lower that tile a bit. i then i thought it would take WAY to much time. any suggestions?

Use maths to find the area covered by the circle, then use maths to find the area of each matrix tile and position of each matrix point then use maths once again to check if the points are in that circle then lower them

Weee maths

Yep, i know how

Get the x position of the explostion, then divide that by how many tiles you have accross the matrix, and that will give you the x tile number of the explosion.

Then do the same for the y position and you'll have the exact tile.

Then do whatever to it that you want to do..

Hope I Helped...
