If I remember my maths (and a couple of B***z tutorials), you'll need to use DBC's sin and cos commands.

No offence, but you don't need to make your posts look like text messages.

Anyway...

Say you wanted to move the ship a pixel at a time and your rocket was at an angle of 45 degrees:

You'd need to move the ship along the x axis by using "sin(45)" and along the y axis using "cos(45)"

Basically create a variable for the rocket's angle which increases and decreases based on the direction keys pressed (use wrapvalue to keep the variable within 0 to 360), and move the ship using sin and cos on the variable. I think. Look in your help file.

I don't have any code but this was the first thing I found after a quick snoop of the CodeBase. Try looking there or the Code Snippets forum.
