I suck real bad, plz help - quite urgent lots of stars
Hi, only my second time posting here, I have searched about this topic but I do not understand, as I never understand how to integrate my own code with examples.
I know this is asking a lot, but if somebody could show me a way, using the variables I already have, or telling me what I need to change it would really help.
Problem:- Need to rotate a 2D gif image to face the direction of Movement / Keypress (Right, Left, Up, Down).
The program starts with the Gif moving in a random direction, but always facing up, I need it to face the way it's moving.
Netbeans Code - sorry it'svery long to sort through and confusing, i'm new and did my best arranging the program around its previous form - classes highlighted bold.

Do you know how to rotate?
Drew, I saw your messy post, but didn't (couldn't) read it. Do you see the buttons above the posting box, especially the one that says "code"? Use that to format your code nicely. Also see the Formatting Tips link there. Try to post a small example that shows what your trouble is. Also, there is a Swing forum where you should post Swing questions (look at the list of forums).
If you use Swing (and you'd better do) did you know that your Graphics
parameter is actually a Graphics2D? That thing can do whaterever you
wanted it to do but were too afraid to ask. Read its API docs and pay
special attention to its affine transform capabilities.
kind regards,
Jos
One more tip: go through this 2D graphics tutorial first: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/index.html

Yes, I saw. But, in case he has another question, it would be useful if he knew about code tags. His unedited post was a mess (italics, bold [bold was intentional, italics wasn't], and no (or very few, anyway) newlines.

Yeah, thx guys, sorry about the formatting.....I did read the 2D rotate tutorials, but it's hard to understand without all of the code being commented. As im completely new to any type of programming I find it difficult.
Probably just gonna give up and use the Pac-man vector in the original code, it's easier, so I won't get many marks, but hopefully i'll learn this stuff later on.
Sorry guys thx for your help

No, "Squirrel, translated in the Quiche Mayan dialect." Were there any real men in that tribe? Okay, so the name doesn't actually come from what they ate.

> You need cojones to eat Squirrel quiche.I suppose so. I have squirrel recipes in my cookbook, but none for squirrel quiche. I suppose you could use squirrel in a quiche that calls for ham.

Duke dollars have been transmuted into stars!!!Ahhhhhhhhh! [head explodes from the sheer enormity of that]
