Rotation Help

General
1

Is there any way that I can rotate a 2d circle without it moving? Like is there a way to just rotate the circle and not make it rotate around a certain point??

Thanks :slight_smile:

@Creator - are you talking about rotating a sprite or a vector built object? Code would help.

Rotating a sprite. Here’s the code I’m talking about:

—Rotate(ElapsedTime)

@Creator27 here are three examples which should help.

Basically if you are inside pushMatrix —> popMatrix it will read the rotation, translation and scaling from the sprite command upwards


    -- Rotate srpite first then translate rotated sprite into screen position
  pushMatrix()
  translate(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2)
  rotate(ElapsedTime)
  sprite(asset.builtin.Blocks.Brick_Grey,0,0)
  popMatrix()
    
  -- Move the sprite and then rotate it around the origina (bottom left of the screen)
  pushMatrix()
  rotate(ElapsedTime)
  translate(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2)
  sprite(asset.builtin.Blocks.Brick_Red,0,0)
  popMatrix()
  
  --Does the same, but the "move" is embedded within the sprite call
  
  pushMatrix()
  rotate(ElapsedTime)
  sprite(asset.builtin.Blocks.Cactus_Inside,WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,50,50)
  popMatrix()
