You mean, math.pi*.5, right? Rotating by 90 radians would be like rotating by 5156 degrees...

Sorry, I think in degrees. So I usually convert my degree numbers to radians. Yes, 90 degrees would be half pi. 180 would be pi. And 270 would be pi and a half. 360 would be 0 or two pi... mmm... I wish I had 2 pi's...

I'd recommend Tau for radians instead of Pi.

Code: Select all

math.tau = math.pi * 2
math.tau -- 360 or 0 deg
math.tau / 2 -- 180
math.tau / 4 -- 90
math.tau / 8 -- 45
-- and so on...

It's easy to remember because if you replace math.tau with 1 in your head, that's the fraction of a circle you get.

I knew you'd say that when I read Jasoco's post.

[Jasoco]

I still prefer to use degrees.

Ha ha, but what's wrong with Tau? It's better than Pi (and hey, you get twice as much pie too! ).

[Taehl]

I prefer pi (that is to say, radians) to tau, degrees, quaternions, or anything else.

[BlackBulletIV]

Why's that? I'm interested to know. How is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) to make a quater circle more logical than \( \frac{\tau}{4} \)?

And yet again, more problems. Now the characters face isnt looking at the mouse, but the characters top left corner is.

And just for you to see it, heres the .love file.

I got it working by using the love.graphics.draw function's offset x and offset y.

Thanks guys!

I was just about to say that, but then you edited the post.
Cause im making a game, which is so far basically like yours, and I did that too.
