Hi!

I have loaded some images in my game and I would like to rotate them.
Anyone knows how to rotate or flip an image?

Thanks!

I think that the current version of Impact (1.18a) only lets you rotate Entity instances, and indirectly so: just set their animation to the desired rotation angle, e.g.,

update: function()
{
    this.currentAnim.angle = 45;
    parent.update();
}

You can create Animation instances without having an Entity, so the easiest way to have rotations and flipping is to wrap your Image in an Animation.

If you don&039;t want to do that for whatever reason, look at the source for #lib/impact/animation.js how it's done there and use the canvas methods directly.

note you have to specify x and y separately for flips

this.currentAnim.flip.x = true;
