Tapping the movement keys does not allow movement

[Karth-Xyver]

When you try to move in the direction you're facing by tapping the corresponding movement key, the movement is not registered.

nomove.webm

You have to hold the movement key for the movement input to be recognized.

Due to update_command_new running even when standing still, @lastdir = dir is always set to 0 so the logic does not work properly.

I naively fixed it like this. I think it makes sense to run this part of the code only when there is movement to process, but I'm not confident enough in it to make it a PR.

It does seem like you fixed something minor, but can you still turn on the spot with this modification?

[Karth-Xyver]

Yes, turning on the spot is not affected:
