Java Game Question
Hey guys, I'm making a gaming for an AP Comp Sci course using Java Applets. It involves a stick figure shooting zombies. I'm making the walking animations as GIF except for the hand and his gun which rotates depending on where you are aiming. I just wanna ask how could I do that, the aiming gun/hands? Do I calculate the slope? What kind of graphics do I need put(GIF)(Graphics g)? Thanks

Re: Java Game Question
To figure out the direction the hand should point, the easiest way to do that is to use some basic trig.
I'm not sure what you mean when you ask "what kind of graphics to I need put (GIF)(Graphics g)?". I would recommend a google search of something like "java draw animated gif" to get started.

Re: Java Game Question
Oh, nevermind that. Thanks! Also, is there any way to rotate an image with a custom pivot point? Let say I want the arm to rotate with its upper arm/corner as the pivot. If you get what I mean
Re: Java Game Question
If you're trying to get out of doing the basic trig, you're making it overly complicated. But again, I'd recommend a google search of something like "java rotate image" to get started. Then if you get stuck, you can post an SSCCE here that demonstrates your problem, and we can go from there.Originally Posted by Francis115
