Question

i have been working on mouse motion listener in Java couldn\'t sort it out completely because i want the object to move towards the direction where ever on the screen the mo

Answer 1

From here:

public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e){
 xpos=getX();
 if(xpos<0){polyrot--;}
 else if(xpos>0){polyrot++;}
 repaint();
 break;
}

It seems you update only the xpos. You should update also the variable ypos. You might want to do it with something like this:

ypos=e.getY();
if (this.ypos<0){
 this.polyrot--;
}else if (this.ypos>0) {
 this.polyrot++;
}
this.repaint();
