[Help] how to rotate object

how to rotate object like super puzzle fighter while the object is moving down

[lua]

object.rotation = object.rotation + 90

[/lua]

or if you dont want to have crazy high rotation numbers in case someone is hitting the rotate button plenty of times:

[lua]

if(object.rotation < 270)then

   object.rotation = object.rotation + 90

else

   object.rotation = 0

end

[/lua]

the moving down part could either be solved by physics, or by a timed loop that constantly adds a value to your objects y coordinate.
and by timed loop i mean a timer:

or enterframe event:

i hope that was some help to get started,

Thanks Michael

if I have two objects , object1 and object2 how can I rotate  the object2 around the object1

that’s a bit more complicated. but Jérôme Z. got some ways described here:
