Just a quick example of how to point to a clone without using lists. (Also no trig, like deck26's original.) Press any of the keys 1-5 to choose which clone to point towards. Use the arrow keys to move the currently chosen clone, and the arrow sprite will continue to point towards it. See also http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/18248372/
Original by deck26. I removed the list and used a broadcast instead. Also added movement using arrow keys to demonstrate that you can continue to track the position in 'real-time'. Yes, moving left makes it point in direction -90, which makes the number above the cat flip! But nvm, this is just to demo the idea... :)
