Hi Luke,
I'm no mathematician, but over the top of my head I'd say you should check
for the following conditions:
If either of the end points intersect the line using the inside() function
or
If the point halfway between the two points intersects the rect
There's probably a simpler method to do it though.

I can't seem to solve this simple problem properly - I need to test whether
a line ([pointA, pointB]) intersects a rect or quad ([point1, point2,
point3, point4]). Can someone point me in the right direction?
