python convert degrees to change in x and change in y

Question

I am making a snake game in python with pygame and for moving the character I have a integer which is the degrees of the angle it should move. Is there any way I can get the change in x and y to move it based on the degrees? For example: func(90) # [0, 5] or func(0) # [5, 0]

Answer 1

import math

speed = 5
angle = math.radians(90)    # Remember to convert to radians!
change = [speed * math.cos(angle), speed * math.sin(angle)]
