I'm trying to rotate an object in 3 ways:
One rotate the object backwards (in the direction contrary to the velocity of ) on the XoY plane
other half pi right and another left. The code i made really doesn't work correctly even if it interpolates the rotation correctly
I think i'm using the Quarternions wrong. If you can help me i'd aprecciate it.
I'm leaving the code here. This class method rotate is called on update of the ship subclass, if it is not rotatating already. If it is it continues the rotation.

Really apreciate it.
