sprite.getDirection()
Category:Sprites
The sprite's movement direction in degrees.
The direction angle is a number from -180 to 180, 0 is to the right, clockwise increasing.
The velocity of the sprite, its speed and direction, can be set in many ways:
- by using the "counter pattern" on
sprite.xandsprite.yproperties within thedraw()function - by setting the
sprite.velocityXandsprite.velocityYproperties - by calling
sprite.setVelocity()orsprite.setSpeedAndDirection()
Examples
Circling
Move a sprite in a circle.
// Move a sprite in a circle.
var sprite = createSprite(200, 100);
function draw() {
background("white");
drawSprites();
sprite.setSpeedAndDirection(2,sprite.getDirection()+1);
console.log(sprite.getDirection());
}
