Special Movement Physics Help.
I'm trying to create a SCROLLING game, where the main character is an oval. I want the left and right arrows to turn him, and the up arrow to make the screen go forward (The Scroll X and Scroll Y variables are into play) in the direction that he is pointing in, but I don't know how to make him go in the direction he is pointing in! Please help!

Re: Special Movement Physics Help.
Doesn't this belong in Advanced Topics?
And congratulations on being a moderator Harakou, you totally deserve it 
But I'd recommend getting a signature

Nope. It's a common misconception that topics about more advanced scripting like trig go in the Advanced Topics forum, but it's actually only intended for threads about working with the source code and stuff like that.
And thank you.

I can understand you thinking it might belong in Advanced Topics, but this is not an Advanced Topic. It is about Scratch. Therefore goes into the AAS Forum. Advanced Topics usually have to do with Scratch as a programming language. (i.e. Mods, source code, Squeak, etc)
And I agree that Harakou should get a sig, but nothing to unprofessional. I see you in my mind as a business (wo)man.

I see. So if I have a question about programming on Scratch because I can't figure out something I should post it on here? I didn't know that I'll do that from now on, then.

Re: Special Movement Physics Help.
Aha! I got it. Sorry for taking a while; Scratch's direction system always gives me a hard time. I've posted a project demonstrating the concept here, which I hope helps you out. I also included some more information in comments attached to the scripts. If you need any help adapting it to your project, feel free to ask.
And thank you!
