How can I make my wheel spin?

[alistair song-white]

I am making a decision maker app. When the wheel (attached picture) is flung, the wheel will rotate for the duration of the acceleration amount.

my logic goes as follow:

When flung

   - Set xacl + yacl = timevariable

   - Repeat

     - Heading +1

   - If timevariable = clock

     - Stop

Unfortunately I am having trouble actually making the code in blocks. I can't seem to get the program to function.

Can anyone help me make this in blocks?

Thanks,

Alistair

First you should consider downsizing your decision wheel.   It is currently 2400 x2400 pixels; perhaps 200x200 would fit on your Android screen better.

Second...Rotate is a misnomer...I do not know why MIT selected that terminology.  Rotate does not rotate a sprite--" it makes the sprite image show rotated when you change the heading"- MIT's words, not mine.  So you need to do something to make the heading change.  The following works

You will need to adapt the blocks to your app.  The button turns off/on the rotation.  The wheel is 200 x 200 pixels and placed on the canvas as per the x/y shown.

Thanks for the resizing tip. Looks better now!

Here's what I've got so far. The only problem I am having is that the clock doesn't read the time I don't think. So it doesn't stop when it hits the timervar number.
