Imagine you have a isometric type elliptical circle on the ground and you wanted to make another object rotate around that path. Being controlled left or right via the keyboard arrow keys. Any thought's on how you'd approach that?

Maybe use Pin behaviour - Bar Style with added supporting events.

Or create circle as invisible sprite, pin to it the object, every tick set position of the invisible object it to the "planet" and rotate with pinned to it "satellite". I think that would work really good.

Figured out what i was trying to accomplish.

Check it out - left and right arrows to rotate the red square, space bar to shoot bullets
