Getting the movement like this.

Yes, LÖVE uses degrees, but Lua (math.sin and math.cos) uses radians...

Ah well...

That's not that big of a deal; just use the conversion functions

math.rad(degrees) --Converts degrees to radians
math.deg(radians) --Converts radians to degrees

Thanks for that... much easier than my original conversion.

I've been using Lua for some time now (a few years) but have never explored the math library - initially I was using an integer-only version that was running on an embedded system, so the math library was simply not available.
