You should look at the "basic/controls" example first, then at "intermediate/physics". These examples are provided with the gamebuino library.

First, declare your player position variables like so

Code: Select all

int player_x = 0;
int player_y = 0;

Then, create a bitmap for your character. You can use a bitmap or just create a square like this:

Code: Select all

int boxDim = 5;
gb.display.drawRect(boxDim,boxDim,player_x,player_y)

in the case of a bitmap, you can do this

Code: Select all

gb.display.drawBitmap(player_x,player_y,bitmap_name_goes_here)


don't forget to make sure your player_x and player_y variables change when you press the buttons

Code: Select all

if(gb.buttons.pressed(BTN_button_goes_here)){
    player_x_or_y = player_x_or_y + or - 1;
}
