You could use keystate()

E.G
if keystate(17) then move object 1,1

The 17 means the W key.

Here is a good link to all the scancodes for the keyboard keys

I cant remember whos site it was but im sure they wont mind me posting it here. Alter the second 1 to change the speed of it.
Good Luck

If you are doing 2D instead of 3D you could use the code below for movement, alter it to suit your needs Smurf.

It's just basic movement of a sprite, you press left arrowkey it moves left 1, you press the right arrowkey it moves right 1, you get the idea..
