Diagonal movement probably won't happen. it would add complexity to foreground/background layer logic for this game. Let me explain why I am using 0-4 for player.move: My collision detection in my player class sort of goes like this: if not self.collide[direction-1]: move(). What this does is checks a list of 4 tiles that are collidable and moves if it can. I could probably use a dictionary, but I didn't get that far into Python yet.
