Moving up!

Is there any way that I can make my actor class move vertically instead of horizontally to begin with? I am creating a top-down game, and my models always begin by going right, as is the default for the move() command. Is there any way I can achieve vertical motion through this command?

setLocation(getX(), getY+5); This sets the location to the current x (horizontal position) and the current y (vertical position) +5. You can change the plus to a minus to go down, and the 5 to any number to change how far per act it goes.

To use the 'move' method to go up, you will have to set the rotation of your actor to face up ( 'setRotation(270);' ). You could instead use the 'setLocation' method suggested by JetLennit; however, minus would be for up and plus for down.
