You're talking about movement like in the old atari game asteroids I take it.

Well, I'll try and right a quick demo down below (might be a little buggy, sorry).



Our Space explorer, the Andromida, uses the Spaceship structure's .xs and .ys variables to hold thrust in both the x and y position. On every loop the Andromida's x and y position incremented (or decremented depending on if it's negative or posative thrust) by .xs and .ys.
All you have to do to test this is slap an object onto the structure by setting the objects position to Andromida.x and Andromida.y and setting the object's yangle to Andromida.dir.

Feel free to use the above for anything. Hope it helps; if the example doesn't work withought minimal debug and/or change then simply respond to this thread starting with something like "Wendigo, you are an idiot. Do it again!" And I'll write a new one that I'll actually test and then repost.

Hope everything works out for yuh!

I sure hope that the code works for you. I'd love to help, but i've been pretty busy lately. Feel free to ask for help if you need it though. I used to try to write my own stretch-bitmap and flat-colored polygon engines in QBasic, and since that isn't exactly a game programming language, I've learned some neet tricks. Besides, I always like to help. I'll still consider helping, though, if i do get some free time.
