> **[Rotating Camera](https://arcade.makecode.com/S54284-09429-91206-13354)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. I want to be able to control the player sprite’s movement in sync with the camera movement. What I mean is that if the camera is facing a certain way, I want the arrow keys to move the player sprite relative to the camera, so that up is forward always, down is down, ect. The camera is controlled with J and L keys. ---

OK, now that I have full camera control, does anyone know how I could make the camera shrink when in a wall so it doesn’t go out of bounds? I tried shrinking and growing the radius before, but it was really shaky. (literally) ---
