Find the point on a circle with given center point, radius, and degree

Question

It\'s been 10 years since I did any math like this... I am programming a game in 2D and moving a player around. As I move the player around I am trying to calculate the poin

Answer 1

I highly suggest using matrices for this type of manipulations. It is the most generic approach, see example below:

// The center point of rotation
var centerPoint = new Point(0, 0);
// Factory method creating the matrix                                        
var matrix = new RotateTransform(angleInDegrees, centerPoint.X, centerPoint.Y).Value;
// The point to rotate
var point = new Point(100, 0);
// Applying the transform that results in a rotated point                                      
Point rotated = Point.Multiply(point, matrix); 

• Side note, the convention is to measure the angle counter clockwise starting form (positive) X-axis
