Determine If Two Points Are Near

Question

I have the following:

bool AreNear(Point Old, Point Current)
{
    int x1 = Convert.ToInt32(Old.X);
    int x2 = Convert.ToInt32(Current.X);
    int y1 = Con         


        

Answer 1

Just calculate the square of the distance using Pythagoras' theorem, and compare to the square of the radius:

bool ComparePoints(Point Old, Point Current)
{
    int x1 = Convert.ToInt32(Old.X);
    int x2 = Convert.ToInt32(Current.X);
    int y1 = Convert.ToInt32(Old.Y);
    int y2 = Convert.ToInt32(Current.Y);
    int dx = x1 - x2;
    int dy = y1 - y2;
    return (dx*dx + dy*dy) < 25*25;
}
