I'm making an asteroids clone game, using GDI+ in C#. I don't understand why the asteroids wont move. They are supposed to rotate based on a member indicating rotation angle, and move in a direction based off of a member that indicates movement angle. But they don't do anything at all! It doesn't make any sense, because the space ship and the bullets work perfectly fine!! And they are more complex than the asteroids! I must have missed something somewhere in the code, hopefully someone is willing to look through it and help me find my problem :) . I should mention, the entire game is driven off of a 60ms timer which raises the event timer1_Tick().

Sorry if it's a bit long, I can post more specific portions if i need to. There's not many comments, but its not very complex right now and the variables are self explanitory.

Ahh I figuired it out. Structs are weird in c#, as opposed to C++
