Hi  
I am just starting out with Phaser and I have modified the code in the Getting Started tutorial a little bit here:

> **[Test 1](http://2de.no/morganw/phaser/test1.html)**

Does anyone know of a tutorial where I can learn how to make the movement better?  
By better I mean more fine tuned and smooth. Specially on the diagonal movement.

`cursors.up.isDown` should not be an else clause of horizontal movement.  
If there is no horizontal input, set player.setVelocityX(0);  
If there is no vertical input, set player.setVelocityY(0);
