Its basic Trigonomentry to find the location of the point as long as you know 3 things.
1. the origin - (x, y)
2. the angle - t
3. the radius - r
and your trying to find the co-ordinates (a, b) of the cirumference of a circle to locate where the end of your "hand" will go.
using the formulas:
a = x + (r * cos(t))
b = y + (r * sin(t))
where r is the length of your "hand"
you can find your (a, b) co-ordinates.
You can then use the (a, b) co ordinates to position your "hand"
'making the lines x1 and y1 co-ords at the origin
line1.x1 = x
line1.y1 = y
'moving part of the line
line1.x2 = a
line1.y2 = b Be a part of the DaniWeb community
