Is Diagonal Movement possible in Verge?
such as on SNES's Shadowrun, or and game such as that.

This would really help me since I am trying to make a mock Darkages game, but it has diagonal movement, and I can't even start the game without knowing that is possible in verge ^_^

The game You Only Live Thrice has diagonal movement code. That, and at one time, I also wrote some code to "perfect" diagonal movement. (YOLT had some screwy animation, so I went and recoded it) Unfortunately, I don't know what I did with the movement code. I'm fairly sure I have it laying around on a cd at home if anyone is interested.

In fact, if you want to know how to do it..

Have a loop that checks for each possible keypress (left, right, up, down, left & up, left & down, right & up, right & down, etc). You them manually move the CHR and show the right frame(s) of animation. It's pretty easy.
