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&039;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;
