This demo shows how directions change, and also has eyes that follow the mouse cursor. The objects tell you the number of degrees they have for their current direction. Remember, up is 0, and directions become more positive going clockwise and more negative going counterclockwise, until they get to -180 or 180 (which are the same direction).
