Re: Trouble with Line Intersection Code in Wiki
Hello Gravy, A while ago I faced the same problem while trying to figure out an algorithm for line intersection.

Remember that all images are drawn following a coordinate system, the system origin (0,0) is located at the top left of the image, when you flip it horizontally, the origin is still at the top le...
