1stly: i want to make a 3D enviroment able to move using arrow key pad.

2nd: i done some coding where its able to move ard the 3d movie. but i unable to get the coordinates out(anyway to add it on?)

```auto
// change the x- and z-axis translation of the objects according to which keys are pressed
translation_z = Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)*25-Key.isDown(Key.UP)*25;
 
// change the y-axis rotation angle according to which keys are pressed
rotation_y = Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)*.5-Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)*.5; 

```

3rd: so i need some way to able to transfer to the code everytime to a absolute variable (like in this case abs\_x and abs\_z (3d enviroment uses x n z axes not x n y).

I hope this clear enough and hope to see a reply asap. i need it urgently.
