Description
Bob Rotate is corrupting certain sums and displaying incorrectly, namely addition and subtraction. In the attached example, you can try 4 different Bob Rotate commands that should rotate the Bob through 90 degrees. You will see that the addition and subtraction ones don't.

I've found what the problem is. In degree mode, in the command Bob Rotate 1,a+b , a is treated as a radian and b as degrees. This can be proved by trying the line Bob Rotate 1,6.283+360. The result is the bob doesn't rotate.
Verified this is a problem.
Using a variable works fine, putting a constant in an expression is a problem.
Fixed! Missing brackets in instruction definitions.
I also corrected the same problem for sprites and screens. :)
The sums are calculated correctly now with 9 Oct updates!
...but, why does it appear that a positive (clockwise) rotation angle rotates in the negative (counter-clockwise) direction? (Francois, see private comments I left you on Discord.)
Example:
Palette 0,$FFFFFF,$777777
Cls 0 : Curs Off
Degree
Message$="This is a test"
L=16*Len(Message$)
Locate 0,0:Print Message$
Get Bob 1,0,0 To L,32
Get Bob 2,0,0 To L,32
Hot Spot 1,$11
I$="1"
angle=0
cls 0
Locate 8,3 : Print "It seems like these should be reversed."
do
Locate 13,4 : Print Using "Angle -#####";angle
Locate 30,4 : Print Using "Angle -#####";-angle
Bob 1,300,300,1 : Bob 2,560,300,1
Bob Rotate 1,angle : Bob Rotate 2,-angle
Wait 0.01
angle=angle+2
Loop```
