Hi there!
I’m trying to add rotation to the character by 90-degree intervals in my game but whenever I try to rotate the player with rotate() or rotation = it will turn it 90 degrees in the code (like if I print it out it says 90 180 ext.) but when I look at it in the game it looks more like it rotates 60 degrees at a time, I have zero ideas why this is I’ve tried many different things but none work so if you can help big thanks!!
You don’t show any code, so only guessing, but I assume you’re supplying a value in degrees when a value in radians is expected?
If necessary, you can convert between them via the in-built deg2rad() and rad2deg() functions.
that is not the problem I am facing.
sorry forgot to add the code so here it is
if direction.x == 1:
player.rotate(90)
movement_right()
if direction.x == -1:
player.rotate(-90)
the problem I’m experiencing is visually its not rotating enough visually but if I print the rotation its correct right
this is using the code listed above rotating 90 degrees at a time. Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Big thanks for the help! been struggling with this for a while

I think that IS the problem you’re facing…
What happens if you change your code (in both places) to something like this?
player.rotate(deg2rad(90))

Without that deg2rad() call, you’re telling the engine to rotate your player 90 radians, which is 5156.62 degrees.
