while changing the angle of an entity, i encountered a problem. this is my code and it's in the update function.

            if(this.direction == "up")
                this.anims.idle.angle += 0.1;
            else
                this.anims.idle.angle -= 0.1;

            if(this.anims.idle.angle < -1.1)
                this.direction = 'up';
            else if(this.anims.idle.angle > 0.3)
                this.direction = 'down';

it slows down to almost complete stop after 5 or 6 hundred runs of the update function. anyone know why?

Your code seems fine. It shouldn't slow down. Maybe you're manipulating the .angle somewhere else, too?

You should however multiply your rotation speed with the tick value, to be framerate independent. E.g.:

this.anims.idle.angle += 6 * ig.system.tick;
