hey was wondering if someone could give me a hand with my code!

im programming a pac man like game and just wanted to know what sort of code or method would you use to create the opening and closing of the pacman mouth, i.e the circle to an arc effect ??

the pacman is controlled using arrow keys!

thanks! and sorry if this is in the wrong section!

Use arc(). It is similar to ellipse except you can set how much of a circle you want to draw (in radians). When an arrow key is pressed have the amount of the arc being drawn change to make it look like his mouth is opening and closing. To be more specific set the mouth to open and close the same way a one dimensional bounce would be programmed.

boolean isOpening = true;

float mouthAngle = 0;

float mouthChange = TWO_PI/180;

void setup() {

size(100, 100);

smooth();

fill(255, 255, 0);

}

void draw() {

if (isOpening == true) mouthAngle += mouthChange;

else mouthAngle -= mouthChange;

if (mouthAngle >= TWO_PI/8 || mouthAngle <= 0) isOpening = !isOpening;

background(0);

arc(width/2, height/2, 100, 100, 0+mouthAngle, TWO_PI-mouthAngle);

}

Seems to be a lot of Pacman going around...
