Gb-studio: [Feature] Store player direction (like position)

[timsamoff]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We can already store the player's position as variables, so why not their direction as well?

(Not quite the same as #33.)

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to be able to store the player's direction as a variable to use when placing the player in other locations based on the stored position.

[Veund]

you could accomplish this with the if player direction function and a variable

if player direction >
set variable 1
else
if player direction ^
set variable 2

etc

I guess so, but it's pretty convoluted. A simple "get" and "set" (as with the player position) would be much more elegant.

Thanks, for the workaround, though! I'll try it out in the meantime.
