I assume you are doing this in 3d? You can do the math for it by hand, but I would suggest using Sparky's. It's a very handy plugin.

Otherwise, look into quadtrees:

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

the download comes with some really good example files, check them out and you should get an idea of how to use the plugin
