-----------------------------------

var input : array char of boolean
Input.KeyDown (input)
if input (KEY_UP_ARROW) then
CharacterY += 3 %Or whatever number depending on how far you want the character to move.

Put this in a loop and do the same for right, left, and down (you can use the same variable for each)

You start by reading the tutorials on Movement (specifically Input.KeyDown()) and collision detection.  Check the Walkthrough for a complete list.

Then, you do some pseudo- and real- coding.  Then, if you're still stuck, you come back here, post your code (using inspiration if you need.
