Hi,
I'm learning javascript to create a custom attack system for my game (I have experience with Python and some with Ruby, but none with JS, and I also don't have much experience with graphics-based programming) and I'm wondering about the best way to implement the system I have in mind.
The concept I have is that, when a player chooses to attack an enemy, a circle comes up in the middle of the screen, divided into several different colored zones signifying attack strength. An arrow, pointing upwards, is fixed in the middle of the circle. The circle spins (at varying speeds depending on the type of attack) and stops when the player presses the action button. The strength of the player's attack corresponds to whatever zone it lands in. (There's a lot of aspects of this system that can be varied, such as speed of the circle, size of the zones, etc., or different mechanics, such as needing to hit several spots on the circle to perform an attack correctly)
I have two questions:
1) Is there a way I can rotate the circle using javascript or will I somehow need to display a looping animation of the circle spinning?
2) How will I get my program to recognize what point the arrow landed on?
Thanks!
EDIT: Figured out rotation problem lol, now all I need is an answer to my 2nd question

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
