Hiya Forum!
I am trying to translate the reading of the right joystick on a 360 controller into the relative 360 angle of a 2D sprite i.e. move the analogue stick right and the sprite angle turns to 90 degrees/move the A/stick left and the sprites turns to 270 degrees.
Achieving 8 directions is quite feasible, however, I can't quite fathom how to achieve all 360 degrees of directions...?
Help is greatly appreciated!
All the best.
Rob

I'm not sure if your question is about how to read the XBOX controller or if it is how to rotate a sprite. I don't have an XBOX 360 controller, so I cannot help you with the reading of it. If that is the case, perhaps you could search for 'XBOX 360' and see if someone else has asked the question.

I assume you have the dll for the XBOX 360 controller. If not, you can find it here:

never tried using a controler what kind of data are u getting from the controler at the top bottom left and right positions

rotating a sprite should be simple enough moving+ rotating is a different story however. u only need to read data from 1 axis
going to be one of the following commands depending on what ur using and how windows/dark basic interprets ur controller i spose

joystick hat angle()
joystick twist()
joystick x or y
rotate sprite 1,((variable))
