Point in Opposite Directon?
Has anyone heard of Osmos? I'm trying to make Osmos style moving (as an experiment), but point towards mouse pointed * -1 doesn't really work. Anyone know how to make it point in the true opposite direction?
Edit: Uploaded it as a project so you can see what I mean by 'not working'. Here's the link:

It points in the opposite direction, but not on the y axis I think. Here, I just uploaded it so you can see what I mean:

I'm sure it's working the way it should, but it's not what I'm trying to do.

You could try this:
[blocks] <point in direction( (( <direction> <-> 180 ))[/blocks]
Does that work?

Or you could use [turn (180) degrees].

Wouldn't that just make it spin uncontrollably?

It flips the sprite. Of course, just like the other method, continuously doing that would make the sprite flip uncontrollably.

Just have it point towards whatever it is and move -1 steps. Or you could have a seperate sprite that points towards whatever it is and then your sprite goes in that direction - 180.
