Purpose

Apply rotation to a shape drawn with drawShape()

Description

Rotates a shape by a given number of degrees or radians

Syntax

rotateShape( shape, amount )

Arguments

shape Handle which stores the shape to move

amount Number of degrees or radians to rotate each frame. Negative numbers produce anti-clockwise rotation

Example

shape = createBox( gwidth() / 2, gheight() / 2, 200, 300 )

// rotate the box with the left control stick y axis
loop
    clear( grey )
    j = controls( 0 )
    rotateShape( shape, j.ly )
    drawShape( shape )
    update()
repeat
