Summary   0000200: Ability to rotate PSprites
Description   Being able to rotate PSprites similar to how regular sprites can be rotated with +ROLLSPRITE would be very useful for doing more advanced weapon animations.

Maybe later, maybe not, but right now it's not on my roadmap.

[Major Cooke]

Perhaps now might be a good time to bring this up again, once things are stabilized.

[Graf Zahl]

Nagging won't give you stuff any earlier.
All in due time.

[Major Cooke]

Okay, perhaps now that you've done the overlay part to allow the rendering of translucency, maybe now would be a good time to bring this back up?

[Graf Zahl]

This is an entirely different can of worms. I'm not sure yet how it should be done.

[Major Cooke]

Perhaps now with the triangle drawer by Marisa Kirisame, this might be more feasible? Or is that not a compatible system?

[Graf Zahl]

The main blocking issue here was the various backends that no longer exist, not the inability to draw a rotated sprite.

[Major Cooke]

This had me wondering about this again.

[Graf Zahl]

If someone implements it into the PSprite system, sure. The biggest problem I see is the weird offsetting the system uses, it does not play well with rotating around a pivot point that needs to be elsewhere on the screen.

[Major Cooke]

Since this is done I'm closing this.
