I have made an analog clock myself. I googled up all the trig formulas that I had forgotten and some I never knew in the first place. This was one of the very first VB apps I tried my hand at so it's not too awful.
All points have X and Y values. Tackle one value at a time with sin and cos. Use radians instead of degrees to make the trig less confusing.
Sin and Cos with degrees is great for angles 0 through 90 but after that keeping your +'s and -'s straight can be a handful.
Don't let the trig intimidate you. Just find the formulas online and apply them in your code.
Learn how to use radians, if I remember right, functions usually convert from radians to get degrees in the first place.
Good luck.
sorry for the late reply!!Your idea seems boring but it was enjoying. I didn't even have to look for google to find the formulas i wrote them in 20 minutes(To challenge my self!!! hahaha) finally i kept patient and i did it.Thankes a lot thanks. I tried to post the executable file of my ready made program but i couldn't(I am not allowed to post .exe files)
Thanks
