How do I make a circle rotate in a bigger circumference

[habed123]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
// done -- orbitting circle



int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1000, 1000), "SFML works!");
    window.setFramerateLimit(10);

    sf::CircleShape shape(50.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Black);
    //orbit


    sf::CircleShape shapeTwo(50.f);
    shapeTwo.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
    //base

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);

        shape.setPosition(500.f, 500.f);
        shape.rotate(10.f);
        shape.setOutlineThickness(10);
        shape.setOutlineColor(sf::Color(255, 255,255));
        //orbit

        window.draw(shapeTwo);
        shapeTwo.setPosition(450.f, 450.f);
        shapeTwo.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::White);
        //base

        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}
 

This is my code. I want the circles to be able to rotate in a bigger range instead of just around it's origin/center/whatever.

Is this possible?

you need to:
1) change the shape's origin to the center of the translation circle, or
2) calculate it manually with sin and cos:

(click to show/hide)

#include <math.h>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main(){
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling...");
    sf::CircleShape shape(50);
    sf::Vector2i center(window.getSize().x/2, window.getSize().y/2);

    const float pi = 3.1415;
    int theta = 0;
    const int radius = 100;

    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);
    while (window.isOpen()){
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event)){
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
        shape.setPosition(std::cos(theta*pi/180.0) * radius + center.x, std::sin(theta*pi/180.0) * radius + center.y);
        theta++;

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
        sf::sleep(sf::milliseconds(10));
    }
    return 0;
}

3) or use transform.rotate and pass the resulting transform to the draw function when drawing the circle
