in the tutorial “Learn to Code From Zero with Godot (DEBUG)” why is there no dot to show 90 degrees? In a lesson before it indicated to used a dot for 0.3 to rotate the sprite. But to turn the turtle there is no dot to indicate degrees. I understand there might be a hidden instruction to differentiate between pixels and degrees, if there is could you show/explain to me please. Thanks.

Any link to the tutorial?

Learn to Code From Zero with Godot

I think I understand now though because the next lesson states “…so far we have called existing functions that other developers wrote.” So maybe there was an existing function that I’m not aware of…?

Sorry first time trying to learn code.

Was one tutorial using radians and the other degrees perhaps?

yes that’s exactly it. I had to go back in the lessons but one referred to radians and the other degrees. I feel silly now but thanks anyway :slight_smile:

No problem at all! No need to feel silly, you dont know until you ask. Basically radians and degrees can both be used to work out the circumference of a circle, sometimes it is easier to use one and sometimes its easier to use the other so both are supported in godot.
