why can't DB do sprite rotation? if that aging 3"x5"x8" contraption can do it then why won't DB allow our 8"x15"x20" beasts do it? if it can push the polys like a parrot on fast-forward then why can't it swivel a collection of pixels? less complicated than texturing a 3d object by far, even MS Word can manage it.

still can't find it, and the compiler doesn't suggest "wrong parametres" or similar when i type in the command, it just doesnt reconise it.

I don't believe that DarkBasic Classic has the rotate sprite command, I think it's only in Pro.

You could always just use a 3d plain, or if you have enough skill you could probably use memblocks to make a rotate image command, then turn the rotated image into a sprite.

Or you could do what I did a while back. I made a image of a ship and then keep rotating it by 22.5 degrees and saved each one as a different image and it came out to be 16 different images. Then I just changed the image of the sprite when the user pressed the LeftRight keys.
