Hello!
I really appreciate your work and would be grateful if you could clarify a few technical points. I’m sure your insights will be helpful for everyone interested in optimizing this method.

Could you please describe the behavior of the points in the algorithm? Do they always move in one direction, or are there situations where they move towards each other? If they do move towards each other, doesn’t this create a large number of small cycles? Why is the option where points move strictly in one direction until reaching the distance, and then start the path again, not used?

Why, with a smaller DP parameter on the same range, does a collision occur faster, while with a larger DP value, checkpoints are fixed approximately once per second but the collision may take minutes to occur?

How does the DP value affect the probability of a collision? If DP is simply the interval at which collision checks are performed.

Thank you in advance for your explanation, and I look forward to any details you can share!
