Confusion about degrees
Hello,
I am a bit confused when it comes to how to use the degress properly indication direction.
From what I gather:
degrees in scratch degrees 0-360
up is 0 0
right is 90 90
down is 180 180
left is - 90 270
How would I go about transcribing for example 240 degrees (using 0-360 system) to degrees in scratch?

Re: Confusion about degrees
Just determine how far it is from 180, 240 - 180 = 60. Subtract 60 from 180, 120, and add the negative sign. -120 degrees in Scratch. That's one way of doing it.

Re: Confusion about degrees
If you're simply wanting to enter a number into say the direction block:
point in direction (my.direction)Scratch automatically modifies the angle to fit into it's system.

Really? I never knew that. Maybe when I tried converting it one time it didn't work because it automatically converts it. Thanks
