client
    East()
        mob.dir = turn(mob.dir,45)
    West()
        mob.dir = turn(mob.dir,-45)
    North()
        step(mob,mob.dir)
    South()
        mob.Move(get_step(mob,turn(mob.dir,180)),mob.dir)
    Northeast()
        return
    Northwest()
        return
    Southeast()
        return
    Southwest()
        return


Keep in mind this is not 360 degree motion, and it doesn't account for things like inertia. If you want to get THAT detailed, you'll probably want to get into pixel offsets and modifying icons a LOT. BYOND really isn't the best system for that level of precision. If you just want a steer/foward/backward system on an 8 directional tile based grid, that oughtta do the trick.

The above can be done on several levels, as well. That's at the client level, it might be more appropriate to make a few different movement styles for your particular game.
