I’ve looked at all the blocks carefully, but I still haven’t seen the block that can let me rotate an spirit. Does anyone know how to do it? ---

There really seems to be no way to rotate an image using blocks only, but it can be easily done in Javascript like this: [https://makecode.com/\_HedcEAPDhLqy](https://makecode.com/_HedcEAPDhLqy) ---

BTW: On the PyGamer I faced crashes, when rotating an image and needed to add a wordaround: See also [https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=164807&p=810471](https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=164807&p=810471) ---

Thanks for this - I love it! For some reason it complains about a width property of null when the angle is anything but 90,180, or 270? How do you do this with 91 degree angle etc? ---

Image literals (img``) need to be cloned before any mutation operation. You can maybe try again on a clone() of the image. ---

You only can rotate the image in 90° steps. That’s by design. ---

well…If you load this extention by @AlexK > **[robo-technical-group/pxt-arcade-image-transform](https://github.com/robo-technical-group/pxt-arcade-image-transform)** > > Extension to transform (scale and rotate) images in MakeCode Arcade - robo-technical-group/pxt-arcade-image-transform and run this i simplified by jacob\_c > **[rotate srite](https://arcade.makecode.com/05143-29328-22260-87057)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. It doesn’t have to be realistic, just believable - I believe it’s rotating!
