How do i flip sprites?

[ChaseMor]

I believe the plan is to allow for simple rotations (e.g. 90°, 180°, and 270°) and simple horizontal and vertical flipping.

Due to the resolution, color, and canvas size limitations, rotating by other angles isn’t really possible. This gets brought up a lot and here’s a thread where we talked about some solutions.

When it comes to rotating sprites, it’s a quite difficult task given the resolution of the sprites. I’ve implemented an algorithm called RotSprite that rotates low resolution images in a way that is more aesthetically pleasing than traditional rotations. You can add it as an extension with the url: https://github.com/ChaseMor/pxt-arcade-rotsprite. Here is an example of this extension It’s a pretty basic implementation though. There’s definitely some optimizations that can be made. For an aste…
