#1✎ 319spaceturtlesVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesAvatar BlockI didn't change my avatar for 30 days.WebsiteIntermediate ProgrammerI can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming StrengthHow do you rotate a sprite to a direction without it taking "the long way around"?
Here's my code so far in the main loop:
WHILE 1
STICK OUT SX, SY
IF (ABS(SX)>0.4)||(ABS(SY)>0.4) THEN
TROT=-DEG(ATAN(SY,SX)) 'Sprite's at a weird angle
IF ROT!=TROT THEN IF (ROT-TROT)<(TROT-ROT) THEN INC ROT,4 ELSE DEC ROT,4
SPROT 0,ROT
ENDIF
VSYNC
WEND
I tried to fix it with more IF statements using (ROT-TROT)>(TROT-ROT) but that didn't work.

Basically you need a function to find the distance (positive or negative) between 2 angles:
DEF ANGDIST(A1#,A2#)
A1#=A1#-A2#+PI()
RETURN A1#-2*PI()*FLOOR(A1#/(2*PI()))-PI()
END
'Or, a simpler but possibly slightly less precise version:
DEF ANGDIST(A1,A2)
RETURN ATAN(SIN(A1-A2),COS(A1-A2))
END
And then you check whether ANGDIST(ROT,TROT) is greater than or less than 0.

Didn't realize their was an answer until yesterday. I tried it out but the sprite just shakes rapidly and doesn't turn much. Any ideas of what went wrong?

Make sure you convert to degrees

#5✎ 13hanzoIf current angle is 0 deg and target angle is 2 deg, current angle goes back and forth between 0 and 4. I guess that is the reason why your sprite shakes rapidly. I recommend you to apply SPANIM to avoid sprite shaking as follows.
ACLS
SPSET 0,3481
SPOFS 0,200,120,0
SPSCALE 0,2,2
WHILE 1
STICK OUT SX,SY
IF(ABS(SX)>0.4)||(ABS(SY)>0.4)THEN
SPROT 0 OUT ROT:ROT=RAD(ROT)
TROT=ATAN(-SY,SX)+PI()/2
DR=TROT-ROT
DR=DEG(ATAN(SIN(DR),COS(DR)))
DT=ABS(DR)DIV 4:DT=DT+(DT<=0)
SPANIM 0,"R+",-DT,DR,1
ENDIF
VSYNC
WEND
