dist = _Hypot(x1 - x2, y1, y2)
I didn't know that either. I imagine there are loads of utility functions added since the original BASIC that I should be using. In this instance it's surely quicker to stick with x.x + y.y and no square root or hypot function at all. Nice to see a less lazy version than my quick one though! I didn't realise this technique actually had a name!
