How to check if line segment intersects a rectangle?

by

One very simple option would be to use a standard algorithm for checking whether two line segments intersect to check whether the line segments intersects any of the four line segments that make up the corners of the box. It’s computationally very efficient to check if two line segments intersect, so I would expect that this could run very quickly.

Hope this helps!
