Rotate and move image

Question

Hi,I'm trying to make a game kinda like gta or asteroids whereyou have top view. I am using an image to be the player and, I want to rotate that image using left and righ keys and with the up key move the player to the direction whereit is rotated.
The problem is that i cannot display the rotation and movement at the same time.
I'm using a code like this.
AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform
public void checkGameInput(){
     float velocityX=0;
     float velocityY=0;
     if(rotateLeft.isPressed()){
           angle1+=angle2;    
          transform.rotate(-angle2, player.getWidth()/2, player.getHeight()/2);
// similar for rightkey
   if (moveFront.isPressed()){
           velocityX=_Player.SPEED*Math.cos(angle1),
           //same for velocityY
}the problem is when i try to print on the sceen.
I can update position
public void draw(Graphics 2D g){
g.drawImage(player. getImage(), Math.round(player.getX()), Math.round(player.getY()),null)  // player.getX(9 returns position of playeror update rtation
public void draw(Graphics 2D g){
g.drawImage(player.getImage(),transform, null);is there a way to join this to drawImageso I can rotate ane move the rotatyed image?
thank you very much for any kind of help.

Answer 1

Use the transform to do both rotation and translation (multiple transform operations can be concatenated)
transform.rotate(-angle2, player.getWidth()/2, player.getHeight()/2);
transform.translate(player.getX(), player.getY());
