Circle_Circle_Intersection_Points

It's not my code and it's just a translation of a java code in BlitzMax from this one : http://www.metaphorical.net/code/processing/circle_intersect.html
I believe it will help lot of people int this community.
So here it is.

	DrawRect pbX , PbY , 5 , 5

End Function

	DrawOval R.x - R.r  , R.y - R.r , R.r*2 , R.r*2
End Function

Local Cir:Circle = Circle.create(10 , 10 , 100)

I hope this is not violeting any license.

or just a function to get the two points

Rem
	aX and aY are the above point and will give their values to the float that will be passed to the function
	bX and bY are the bottom point and will give their values to the float that will be passed to the function
	x1 , y1 are the center of the first circle and r1 is the radius
	x2 , y2 , are the center of the second circle and r2 the radius
End Rem

Function Circle_Circle_intersect(paX# Var , paY# Var , pbX# Var , pbY# Var , x1# , y1# , r1# , x2# , y2# , r2#) 


	Local dx# = x1 - x2
	Local  dy# = y1 - y2
	Local  d2# = dx*dx + dy*dy
	Local  d# = Sqr( d2 )

	If  d>r1+r2 Or d<Abs(r1-r2) Then Return False'; // no solution
	

		Local a# = (r1*r1 - r2*r2 + d2) / (2*d)
		Local h# = Sqr( r1*r1 - a*a )
		Local rx2# = x1 + a*(x2 - x1)/d
		Local ry2# = y1 + a*(y2 - y1)/d


		paX# =  rx2 + h*(y2 - y1)/d 
		paY# =  ry2 - h*(x2 - x1)/d 
		pbX# = rx2 - h*(y2 - y1)/d
		pbY# = ry2 + h*(x2 - x1)/d

		Return True
	
End Function

You should put this in the code archive.

I guess it might be useful, thanks,.

But this is not my code. It's just a translation.

so what? the code archive's for simple routines like this one, which have almost all been thought of before by somebody else. And I don't think we've quite got to the point where someone can copyright geometry...

You coded the translation, so it has become your own code, unless the algorithm is protected by patent (as is the marching ants code). Although even in that case someone posted code for it.

And, besides that: you posted it here. Why is that different to posting it in the code archive?
