You know Starcraft? The characters move the same speed no matter which
direction they face?

Well what is a good method of achieving this?

I know the trig, but in 320x240 mode, I have a maximum speed of 4, which is
way too fast already.

This means the only speed pairs (speedX, speedY) are:

(4,0); (3,1); (2,2); (1,3); (0,4)... and so on for the other quadrants.

So how do I get a better angular resolution? without increasing the maximum
speed?
