Converting from degrees to revolutions

[hotsauce15183]

I'm making a game and I want the user to be able to tell the object to turn from (-180 to 180) degrees.
Thanks if anyone can help me with this.

isn't that a 360? which is 1 revolution?

What I mean't to say

Ok there is a game that i'm creating with user input
The user can put in any number from (-180 to make the ball turn straight to the left or 180 to make the ball turn straight to the right and of course the other numbers in between will be the other angles 0 for straight ahead etc. After the user puts in the number the ball will move in that direction. The point of this game is to be like a putt golf simulation.

ohhhhh. I gotcha. So when the person puts the degrees in it will convert to revolutions.

I don't know how to do that. :( sorry.

[hotsauce15183]

yea thats it.
but thanks anyway.

For the basic conversion, just have the user put his number in and then divide that by 360. (180/360 = 0.5, etc.)

If you want to like - "If entry is <0 turn left else turn right."
