Obstacle Avoidance

[Björnke von Gierke]

The problem is, that your code doesn't deal with the cut off that 
happens with 360 respectively 0. I did not look close enough at your 
code to fully understand it, but i think you should add code that deals 
with that scenario.
I remember having a similar problem with one of my stacks, but didn't 
get around to solve it.

On a related note, did you look at AE from malte? It doesn't solve this 
problem, but has some nice handlers to simplify degree calculations and 
movements.

I made an other stack that moves a circle using AE, its linked on the 
forum (It has it's own problems though):

There's a trial of AE available:
