Converting PyGame 2 axis joystick float to 360 angle - archieab - Sep-25-2018

I would like to convert my joystick's two axis float (horizontal and vertical) to a 360 angle that can be used to set a players direction in my game. From my research, I've found the best route to take is using Atan2.

Variables:

self.rot = 0
horaxis = joy1.get_axis(0)
veraxis = joy1.get_axis(1)

Demonstration Diagram: you are correct, it is drawn in MS Paint

Absolutely any suggestions/snippets for the code would be amazing!
