One of my students is trying to make a top-down tank game in which a stationary turret rotates in his direction and fires projectiles at him. This one’s got me pretty stumped? Any ideas? Thanks!

Might want to look at the sprite utils extension:

It can fire projectiles off in a certain direction (note that the functions accept **radians** , but there is a block to convert degrees to radians)
