Hello again, now that I made this account I need to use it 😉

```auto
1. def keyPressed(self):
2. if key == 'a':
3. self.x = self.x - 1.5
4. elif key == 'd':
5. self.x = self.x + 1.5
6. elif key == 's':
7. self.y = self.y + 1.5
8. elif key == 'w':
9. self.y = self.y - 1.5

```

Is there any way to make my player object move in diagonal by adjusting something in this code, or I need to do something complex with tan() cos() sin()… ?

how about using key q e z c  
and do a ± “speed” for X and Y

Id like to move in diagonal with WD WA…, but this is a good idea too.  
(Actually I’m making things for fun, so I dont need something compelx or very efficient)

Here’s some old sketch about diagonal movement, but in Java Mode: ☕

I can convert it to Python Mode if you wish… 🐍

@GoToLoop I dont understant what d\>\>1 is (“81. int r = **d\>\>1** ”)  
I’ve never seen something like this in C++ or Python
