This might be kind of tricky to explain but I'll try my best.

My character is basically just a wheel, a single wheel (looks like a car tire actually) that is always standing up. I want him to do the usual when movement keys are pressed; go forward, backward, left and right etc. But I want his movements to mimic those of a wheel as if it was rolling around in different directions.

The physics of this are kind of hard to nail down and so far nothing I've done has really looked right. I kind of want him to sort of "tilt" to one side when turning, when backing up I want the wheel to just go in reverse instead of just immediately turning around, and some way to keep it from falling over when ever sharp turns are made. You know how wheels behave I'm sure.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to something that might help me get off the ground with controls like these?

Thanks a lot.
