Description

The angle kwarg is accepted by the constructor for Actor, but does not take effect.

Setting angle after construction has the expected effect.

The keyword argument should either be rejected, or should be honoured.

Research direction
Start by examining the Actor class constructor in pgzero/actor.py. Look at how the angle keyword argument is handled in init and compare it with the angle property setter. The issue suggests that setting angle after construction works, so the fix likely involves calling the setter or manually applying the transformation during init . Check if there are any unit tests related to Actor creation and angle to ensure the fix works.
