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 also needed this to form the movement of the hands of a clock in code. I tried several formulas but they didn't work, so this is what I came up with:

• motion - clockwise
• points - every 6 degrees (because 360 degrees divided by 60 minuites is 6 degrees)
• hand length - 65 pixels
• center - x=75,y=75

So the formula would be

x=Cx+(r*cos(d/(180/PI))
y=Cy+(r*sin(d/(180/PI))

where x and y are the points on the circumference of a circle, Cx and Cy are the x,y coordinates of the center, r is the radius, and d is the amount of degrees.
