How to make character control with mouse and keyboard?

Question

Game development

Fight everyone
I'm making a two-dimensional game, a top view, I made character control scripts through the keyboard
I also want to add mouse control (as in the alien shooter for example). I found an article on how to do this, but I can’t figure out how to build such a control into my 2d game
, if anyone has come across, tell me plz. Or throw links with similar tutorials, I will be very grateful

Answer 1

In Alien shooter, only the rotation of the player is set with the mouse. In general terms, you need to calculate the coordinates of the cursor relative to the center of the screen. Next, calculate the rotation and radius (see polar coordinate system). Well, actually, speed = radius, direction = angle.
