I would like to see how I can calculate the X and Y positions after something has move in some steps in any given direction.
Can any of you help me?

define hmdmner
hmdmner 

hmdmner

Every object has its own x-position and y-position variables which can be found in the movement section. So when you move the sprite you can easily obtain the new position.

But how do I predict what they would be?

Use the

(x position) and (y position)

blocks to tell where the sprite is.

If you want to predict the change in x and y for movement in a direction D you can use trigonometry but you might find it easier just to use another sprite to start at the player and do a test movement - you can then see where it ends up to get the end position.

You can make it move in a custom block running without screen refresh firstly, anotate coordinates and go back to previous position.

the move () steps is just

change x by (([sin v] of (direction)) * (steps))
change y by (([cos v] of (direction)) * (steps))

i needed the math in one of my python projects, this really helped
