Hello I'm having a bit of trouble with a assignment of mine for school. I got most of it down except for the most important part, the actual drawing.

What I'm trying to do is to draw a line and and rotate a certain amount and draw it again. In the end I'd be drawing something similar to the asterisks sign. My teacher told me to use sin and cos but I just don't get how I would use those to make my line move.

Thank you.

This is my code thus far:

void setup()
{
  size(400,400);
  background(255,127,0);
 }
 void draw()
 {
  if (mousePressed == true && (mouseButton == LEFT))
  {
   for(int i = 45; i < 245; i = i + 10)
   {
      line(mouseX,mouseY,mouseX,mouseY);
   }
  }
}
