so in program able move spaceship around screen using wasd keys, , works fine. problem here want spaceship sprite rotate based on mouse pointer is, want @ mouse. , kind of got work, wiggles bit when move mouse on screen, doesn't rotate. section angle calculating is, in get_angle() , rotate() methods spaceship.
my code:
import pygame livewires import games, color import math games.init(screen_width = 700, screen_height = 650, fps = 50) class create_spaceship(games.sprite): '''a spaceship controlled arrow keys''' def update(self): '''move coordinates''' key = pygame.key.get_pressed() dist = 4 if key[pygame.k_w]: self.y -= dist if key[pygame.k_s]: self.y += dist if key[pygame.k_a]: self.x -= dist if key[pygame.k_d]: self.x += dist #check see if spaceship oustside boundries if self.left < 0: self.left = 0 if self.right > games.screen.width: self.right = games.screen.width if self.top < 0: self.top = 0 if self.bottom > games.screen.height: self.bottom = games.screen.height self.get_angle() def get_angle(self): '''will angle between mouse , image''' mousex = games.mouse.x mousey = games.mouse.y spaceshipx = self.x spaceshipy = self.y self.angle = math.atan2(mousex - spaceshipx, mousey - spaceshipy) print self.angle def rotate(self): '''rotates sprite @ angle found in get_angle()''' self.angle = self.angle def main(): screen_background = games.load_image('resized_stars background.png', transparent = false) games.screen.background = screen_background spaceship_image = games.load_image('8-bit_spaceship_withbg.png') spaceship = create_spaceship(image=spaceship_image, x = games.mouse.x, y = games.mouse.y) games.screen.add(spaceship) games.mouse.is_visible = true games.screen.mainloop() main()
use pygame.transform.rotate(spaceship.angle)
