A hitbox is an invisible shape commonly used in video games for real-time collision detection. It is a rectangle (in 2D games) or cuboid (in 3D) that is attached to and follows a point on a visible object. It is common for animated object to have a set of hitboxes attached to one moving part each to ensure accuracy during motion.[1]
Hitboxes are used to detect "one-way" collisions such as bullet impacts. They are unsuitable for the detection of collisions with feedback (e.g. bumping into a wall) due the difficulty experienced by both humans and AI in managing hitboxes' ever-changing locations; these sorts of collisions are typically handled with much simpler axis-aligned bounding boxes instead.

Companies place JavaScript files on their web servers which are linked to from a HTML script in the page code. The combination of the two makes a request from the data collection servers for each page viewed by a user. A cookie is placed on the users computer which contains a unique id. This unique id is passed with the request to the data collection servers. During the processing of the data Hitbox ties together the page views to get a perspective of how the user moved through the site. Other, custom information can be passed in the request as well as information from the HTTP header of the browser, such as referrer and browser details.
Step inside this world of hate
Search lights cut through the darkest of air
Eagles fly where the brave only dare
Pray for death let the chaos begin
Thou shalt kill is the mandatory sin
You wanna start a fucking war
You wanna feed upon the energy
You wanna take the shortest straw
You wanna take it to the death
Viva la hate
A circle of brutality
Hatred dictates
Gonna pull you under
Viva la hate
The ultimate insanity
Violence awaits
You can burn with me in hell
Hate sent fuel powers deep through my veins
Troops of doom run theaters of pain
White red black hail the backdrop of fear
Anger burns ritual violence crawling near
Annihilation crushing all
Extermination of the enemy
Destructive loss of self control
You wanna take it to the death
Viva la hate
A circle of brutality
Hatred dictates
Gonna take you under
Viva la hate
The ultimate insanity
Violence awaits
You can burn with me in hell
They speak with twisted minds
Of concepts so despised
Their fear is where we shine
You are the hate
We are the hate
Viva la hate
Blood stained walls in the hatebox domain
War dogs prey on the weak and insane
Human storm laying waste in the pits
Special force bare the number of 666
You wanna start a fucking war
You wanna feed upon the energy
You wanna take the shortest straw
You wanna take it to the death
Viva la hate
A circle of brutality
Hatred dictates
Gonna take you under
Viva la hate
The ultimate insanity
Violence awaits
You can burn with me in hell
Viva la hate
