[solved] Help with my pool(billiards) game

Post by betobala »

I need to draw the pool cue behind the cue ball, pointing at the mouse position. But I do not know the math to make that happens, can I get some help? :)

Get the angle between the mouse cursor and the ball with math.atan(mouseY - ballY, mouseX - ballX). The pool cue is 180 degrees (1 pi radians) in the other direction.
