math - How to check intersection between 2 rotated rectangles?

Question

Can someone explain how to check if one rotated rectangle intersect other rectangle?

Answer 1

1. For each edge in both polygons, check if it can be used as a separating line. If so, you are done: No intersection.
2. If no separation line was found, you have an intersection.

/// Checks if the two polygons are intersecting.
bool IsPolygonsIntersecting(Polygon a, Polygon b)
{
    foreach (var polygon in new[] { a, b })
    {
        for (int i1 = 0; i1 < polygon.Points.Count; i1++)
        {
            int i2 = (i1 + 1) % polygon.Points.Count;
            var p1 = polygon.Points[i1];
            var p2 = polygon.Points[i2];

            var normal = new Point(p2.Y - p1.Y, p1.X - p2.X);

            double? minA = null, maxA = null;
            foreach (var p in a.Points)
            {
                var projected = normal.X * p.X + normal.Y * p.Y;
                if (minA == null || projected < minA)
                    minA = projected;
                if (maxA == null || projected > maxA)
                    maxA = projected;
            }

            double? minB = null, maxB = null;
            foreach (var p in b.Points)
            {
                var projected = normal.X * p.X + normal.Y * p.Y;
                if (minB == null || projected < minB)
                    minB = projected;
                if (maxB == null || projected > maxB)
                    maxB = projected;
            }

            if (maxA < minB || maxB < minA)
                return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

NB: The algorithm only works for convex polygons, specified in either clockwise, or counterclockwise order.
