okay, here is the type of movement I want to achieve, have you ever seen the online game cubis ? where you use the mouse to move different colored blocks areound the screen ? This is what I want for my puzzle type game, I got the keyboard version working, turning right etc.. had to use if statements inside each direction 1-4, to verify where we currently facing before moving then moving the correct amount to face the dir you wanted to face. Now I tried playing it using the keyboard, and I think the controls would be better with the mouse like cubis to rotate around the items in the center of the screen, if anyone could post some example code of this type of movement controlled by the mouse, at 50 pixel increments like top right and bottom and top of the items which are in the center of the screen at 50 pixel increment rows etc.. I want the bubble controlled by the player to rotate around the items outside the rows, using the mouse etc.. and move to the items in that row when you hit the mouse button. I will post my code when I get home, I am at work today, so you can see what I have so far.

Thanks for all the help!
