rotating pointer
Saturday, July 4, 2009 by vAIp33r | Discussion: DesktopX
Hello all!
I'm working on a theme and I had the idea of making this:
On the pic is the object I want to code - a stick-like object to follow the cursor and always rotate so that it points towards the center of the circle. The only thing I simply can't do is to get the rotation just right. I tried a lot of things but my neglection of trigonometry and math as a whole for the past year has unfortunately left severe consequences 
Long story short - I need to calculate the angle of the stick object while knowing only cursor and orb's positions.
