Hi All

Can anyone tell me my when sprite physics are OFF, sprite angles (in degrees) go from 0.0 to 360.0 and 360.0 to 0.0 respectively.

However, with sprite physics turned ON, angles go from 0.0 to 180.0 to -180.0 to 0.0???

Is this a Radians thing or am I missing something and as usual making a buffoon of my little self?

Any help much appreciated!

Not a radians thing, probably a box2d thing. It all equates to the same thing though really. You could use a wrap function to keep the numbers within what you need.

Emma that's what I Hoping. However for consistency for AppGameKit users, AppGameKit should manage this internally as the GetSpriteAngle will return a strange number between 0 and 180 either positive or negative. Although not rocket science to manage this, I would have thought it better that when calling GetSpriteAngle, the result should be the same physics or not!

thanks for the conformation BaxSlash!

Can I suggest you post it as an enhancement request?
