Why not have a look at the code that comes with that program? All it is is 2 plains, one of which rotates to show the speed.

Well, its easy then, depending on how much you're moving an object at a time. This changes with speed. So if you're moving the car 1 unit at a time, you could be going 10kph, 2 units 20kph etc.

So declare a variable which holds speed in units, and then have something like

text 0,0,"Speed: " + str$(speed*10) + "Kph"
