rotating sprites to point
Jun 17th, 2007, 3:04am  
Hey,
I am trying to mock up a flock of butterflies to turn and follow a point using color tracking. I have looked at the Boid system but find it is a little to complicated for me (very new to this all).
I am using an array of sprites at the moment, inputing some random variables to have a vague (very vague flock effect) but   it would be more believable if the butterflies turned to the point.
I'm certain some solution exists to make the sprite rotate but am unable to find it myself.
