My character won't move

[Terribilis]

i recently want to start learning how to make game, so i listen to the offical youtube tutorial and try to make my character to move, but it's just won't budge. can someone help?

create:
window_set_size(1280,720);
xsp=0;
ysp=0;

step:
if keyboard_check(ord("D"))
{
xsp+=1;
}
if keyboard_check(ord("A"))
{
xsp-=1;
}
if keyboard_check(ord("S"))
{
ysp+=1;
}
if keyboard_check(ord("W"))
{
ysp-=1;
}

did you bind xsp and ysp to anything such as, like, hspeed or vpseed?

you can, you just... didn't yet.

you'd need to do something like "xspeed=xsp" or some equivalent

xsp and ysp are just a variables. They don't do anything but hold a value. You need to do something with that values. You can assign them to x and y and move the object manually or you can assign them to hspeed and vspeed to move it automatically. You could also come up with an algorithm to translate your xsp and ysp into a direction and a speed and assign it to direction and speed respectively.
