Is there any way to make a sprite orbit around another one? im trying to have a boss fire an invisible projectile with 4 others orbiting around it in a circle. Is this possible without using the animation block? ---

Maybe something like this? > **[Untitled](https://arcade.makecode.com/S08914-27519-25069-71583)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. You’d almost definitely want to smooth it out a bit – e.g. maybe make it so the on game update sets a ‘target angle’ on the sprite as sprite data, and another loop that goes over and moves them towards target angle, so that they don’t just ‘snap’ to the new locations, and also add some logic for when to add new ones into the pool / make it so they aim at the player, but I tried to keep it pretty simple as a starting point 🙂 I’m using my `jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util` extension just to make the code a little simpler with ‘place at angle’ blocks / handle conversion from degrees to radians ---

Definitely! I don’t think i can show a concise solution… if you send the code I can try and add it myself! ---

Thanks for this! This opens up a whole new world for me. I was planning on making a game similar to static [florr.io](http://florr.io), but I couldn’t figure something out to make rotation until I saw this forum. ---
