Turn () Degrees
Category	Motion
Type	Stack

The Turn () Degrees blocks are Motion blocks and Stack blocks. The blocks turn their sprite the specified amount of degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on which block is used); this changes the direction the sprite is facing.

The blocks use the 360 degrees in a circle.

Example Uses

These blocks are the easiest way to rotate a sprite, unless many costumes are used to give the illusion of rotation or the workaround is used.

Some common uses for the Turn () Degrees blocks:

• Simple rotation

— e.g. planets and wheels

forever
   turn cw (15) degrees

• Animation

— e.g. a waving hand

repeat (5)
   turn cw (15) degrees
end
repeat (5)
   turn ccw (15) degrees
end

• Vehicles that can turn

forever
   if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
      turn ccw (3) degrees
   end
   if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
      turn cw (3) degrees
   end
