Question

Hey guy’s im making a 2D java game and i want to learn how to rotate a simple 2D sprite.

Currently my Player class has a rotation integer which decreases/increases on button press. How would i go about rotating my Player image?

This is how I am loading my sprite:

ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("player.png");
sprite = i.getImage();

This is currently how i draw it:

public void paint(Graphics g) {
    g.drawImage(player.getImage(), player.getX(), player.getY(),null);
    print("Painting");
}

Any help is appreciated.
