Hello all, does anyone know how i could get sprites to move in a given area in a circular fashion or any path thats predictable using x and y values within the screen resolution.
Thank you for reading this.

If you want to rotate around a point then...

PosX = dbSIN(i)*300 + PointX;
PosY = dbCOS(i)*300 + PointY;

Where i = angle of rotation. I.e, Make i count from 0 to 360, (1 a frame)
300 in this case is the size of the circle.

PosX = dbSIN(i*57.295779513)*100 + PointX
PosY = i*100 + PointY

The optomist's right, The pessimist's right.
