Move Fixed Distance

Defines a command to move the piece a fixed distance upwards and to the right.  If the  piece is part of a stack, and the stack is not expanded, and the Move entire Stack option is selected, then the command will move the entire stack.

NOTE: If this piece has a Can Rotate trait listed before this trait, then the resulting direction will be relative to the current facing of the piece.  Example:  If a piece has traits Can Rotate followed by Move Fixed Distance 60 upwards, then the move command will move the piece in whatever direction the top of the piece is facing.  If a piece has traits Move Fixed Distance 60 upwards followed by Can Rotate then the move command will move the piece towards the top of the screen regardless of the facing of the piece.
