I'm trying to port a simple 2d top down shooter game from C++(Allegro) to Java and i'm having problems with rotating my character.
Here's the code i used in c++
if (keys[A])
RotateRight(player, degree);
if (keys[D])
RotateLeft(player, degree);
void RotateLeft(Player& player, float& degree)
{
degree += player.rotatingSpeed;
if ( degree >= 360 )
degree = 0;
}
void RotateRight(Player& player, float& degree)
{
degree -= player.rotatingSpeed;
if ( degree <= 0)
degree = 360;
}
And this is what i have in render section:
al_draw_rotated_bitmap(player.image, player.frameWidth / 2, player.frameHeight / 2, player.x, player.y, degree * 3.14159 / 180, 0);
Instead of using A-D keys i want to use mouse this time.
I've been searching since last night and came up to few sample codes however noone of them worked.
For example this just made my character to circle around the map:
int centerX = width / 2;
int centerY = height / 2;
double angle = Math.atan2(centerY - mouseY, centerX - mouseX) - Math.PI / 2;
((Graphics2D)g).rotate(angle, centerX, centerY);
g.fillRect(...); // draw your rectangle
Any help is much appreciated.
