Correction: The player doesn't stop when a 2nd simultaneous direction
is pressed. It does stop moving the player under the following
conditions though, and I would like to somehow prevent it:

If you hold down any cursor key then change directions by holding 
down another cursor key and then lift your finger off the second to 
resume the direction of the first, the avatar will actually stop
instead. I want to resume moving in the first pressed (and
still pressed) direction instead of stopping abruptly. I have tried the
sugestions here to no avail. Are there any games with this type of
movement functionality, or any sample code anywhere?
