        -- input handling
    if pad&#58;l&#40;&#41; then
        ship.aimdir = relative&#40;ship.aimdir +2&#41;
        end
    if pad&#58;r&#40;&#41; then
        ship.aimdir = relative&#40;ship.aimdir -2&#41;
        end
        
    ship.aimdir = math.abs&#40;ship.aimdir&#41;
    
    if ship.aimdir > 360 then
        ship.aimdir = ship.aimdir -360
        end
    if ship.aimdir <0 then
        ship.aimdir = ship.aimdir +360
        end

the ships aiming will go round anti clockwise (when ship.aimdir is being +ed) but if you go clockwise it gets stuck at the ship.aimdir = 0 mark.

i use this pice of code in loads of other languages and it works great.

whats going on??

edit: oops nver mind there is an unneccessary math.abs in there

isn't it funny how you can always spot the answer 5 minutes after making a thread about it? :)
