+Intersecting line segments:
+An easier way:
+Segment L1 has edges A=(a1,a2), A'=(a1',a2').
+Segment L2 has edges B=(b1,b2), B'=(b1',b2').
+Segment L1 is the set of points tA'+(1-t)A, where 0<=t<=1.
+Segment L2 is the set of points sB'+(1-s)B, where 0<=s<=1.
+Segment L1 meet segment L2 if and only if for some t and s we have
+tA'+(1-t)A=sB'+(1-s)B
+The solution of this with respect to t and s is
+
+t=((-b?'a?+b?'b?+b?a?+a?b?'-a?b?-b?b?')/(b?'a?'-b?'a?-b?a?'+b?a?-a?'b?'+a?'b?+a?b?'-a?b?))
+
+s=((-a?b?+a?'b?-a?a?'+b?a?+a?'a?-b?a?')/(b?'a?'-b?'a?-b?a?'+b?a?-a?'b??+a?'b?+a?b?'-a?b?))
+
+So check if the above two numbers are both >=0 and <=1.
