Player Movement

This document provides code to create a simple game where a character ("peach") can be moved around the screen using arrow buttons. The code defines functions for each arrow button that set the character's motion when touched. It also includes code to continuously move the character, stop its motion, and restrict it to within the screen boundaries.
