I'm trying to program a Roulette game for my capstone class. I've been trying to find a way to code the wheel but I'm new to java and have no idea how to start. I found paintComponent(Graphics g) method helps rotating my wheel image but not the way the wheel should spin. Is there any way I can do it, any articles that would give me an ideas how to start. Any help will be much appreciated.
This example shows how to rotate an arbitrary image. This Q&A may suggest how to rotate the text, if you create your own image at run-time.
Addendum: In helpful comments, @Robin recalls this example, as well as @camickr's pivotal article Rotated Icon. As the goal is to model a game of roulette with a rotating wheel view, the MVC pattern may prove useful.
